Checking Out

I thought about you 

while I was at the grocery store today

and about how you only had eggs, some water

and leftovers at your place.


I imagined us in a timeline where

it would be acceptable for me

to come surprise you with

better food to fill your fridge.


I allowed myself to float

in the bliss

of this daydream

knowing that's all it was.


Then I remembered when, unprompted,

you told me you fucked someone else recently 

and still did not want to date.

And I went to check out.
