I can't get away from you
tonight I opened a bottle of
rosemary, oil and vinegar
salad dressing
old, from you, never used
but still good.
But I can't get near you
too many unanswered messages
too many distracted phone calls
too many shots in the dark.
This experience,
of you two years past,
feels more like a breakup
than anything current at all
as though I just realized
we may be in the same bottle
but we will never mix.
