for my loved and lost

i sat across a coffee table
from Frank, George, Mina and Gertrude
with a bowl of cereal and a multivitamin

we made a list together
of all the girls i've loved
and let slip through my fingers

neither Mina nor Gertrude
keep the company of girls
and Frank is too much of a socialite

but George sees my worries as folly
for none of them are lost
only resting, silently,

waiting for me to finish my breakfast
