High School Reunion by Kelly-Anne Riess

I used to date him and hang out with his friends

we stole NO DUMPING signs
and placed them over toilets
we watched bad comedies and even worse
horror movies
we had dinner dates at Burger King
or Buffet Palace
our conversations — hockey this and baseball that

he seemed pretty good
but I had to lose him
and I did

he got into drugs after
high school
a year before
I started my Masters degree

I invited him for coffee once
he thought it was an intervention

there he is
look at him now
by the punch in that yellow suit jacket

I can't believe I ever dated him

watch
I bet he won't even come over to say hello
