party of one

party of one
i say to the hostess as i enter
the restaurant.
well, hello again,
she says. long time
no see.
no date?
what happened to your girl?
you're bride to be.
long story,
i tell her. trust me.
you don't want to know.
it involves
exorcism, demonic
possession.
things like that.
hmmm. she says. i see.
your usual seat
at the bar? is that okay.
no, let's try another
the last one was bad luck,
let's see if we
can change that
today.
