POEM: one of the characters on Gilmore Girls

one of the characters on Gilmore Girls

is telling her friend how much she misses
the boy she broke up with on an earlier episode

does that mean I have the emotional maturity
of a high school student or at least

the emotional maturity of what a television writer
thinks a high school student is like?

because my partner and I split up more than a year ago
& all I want is a Very Special Episode on which

we get back together after an unlikely series of events
that culminates in the realization

that we made a terrible mistake in our living room
on that hot desert day in August

I talk fast like these characters do & that seems to be
all they need to fix things but it isn’t working for me

maybe I can get a team of comedians in here
to punch up the script
