another red flag ignored

i didn't hear
from
her for weeks.
and then
the phone rang and it
was her.
where'd you go,
i asked.
well, she said,
clearing her
throat.
i was on my married
boyfriend's boat
and my phone
fell overboard
with a splash.
his friends dove in
to retrieve it, but no
such luck.
it wasn't too late
to get out
of this, i should have
hung up,
but i was so much
older
than,
i'm younger than
that now.
