a cashew of a girl

we talk on the phone.

don't ask I say as she goes ahead
and asks
anyway.

oh no, she says.
yup.
I reply. yup.

and what about the ex,
that cashew
of a girl.

in the wind, I tell her.
in the wind.

or in an asylum, or jail.

no news is good news,
as the cliché goes.

delete, block, erase, burn
and bury.

cancel my subscription
to cupid
and the love fairy.

cut the cord and don't look
back.
