the holiday stretch pants

i find my holiday stretch pants
at the bottom

of the drawer.
and put them on.

not too snug or tight.
with a little room at the waist
for what's

to come.
i reach into a pocket and find
a note

from a former ex wife.
it's a grocery

list.
perfect, i think, now
i don't have to make another

one.  off i go to the store.
buying things i need

and other things,
that i have no
clue
what they could be for.

i'd like to call her to say
thanks,
but she's blocked and deleted

me
not unlike what so many others
have done before.
