'Tammie,'
I run towards her,
stopping short
of actual contact
because of
the stench.
It feels
somewhat
nostalgic
but it is a bad smell after all.
We stare at each other
in absolute silence.
Then Tammie
asks,
Aren't you curious
about what happened to me?
I don't know how to reply.
No, not really.
I wanted some space to think?
You were annoying so
I was glad you were gone?
I am too tired to care?
The week
passed by
in a blur
without my knowing it.
She gives me
that apologetic smile again
as though my silence
is her fault.
It is, actually.
Now that she's
out and about,
ready to follow me like a parasite again,
I'm not going to
make much progress
figuring out
what kind of hell
this is.
