Description
This isn’t even a missed connection
But it is exactly what it is
Out of all the times I swiped left with vigor
Out of all the times I ambivalently swiped right, rationalizing my thumb’s new role
Apologizing to it. The nailface face up
Reminding me of my nomadic youth
I sharpie on eyes and a straight line mouth
Out of all the times I accidentally swiped right I hadn’t made an actual fuss
But accidentally swiping left on your profile
Was akin to dropping my ice cream in the sand; “Nooooooooooooo”
You’re 44, I’m 42
You’re up at four, I am too.
Breaking balls is what I do.
But sometimes, just sometimes, they heal harder, stronger to withstand the next round
