Strategy

Encountering an ex again,
Avoid all talk of there and then.

Speak only of the here and now;
If ex should balk, show him/her how.

Be sure to shun the question “why?”
(Its answer often is a lie.)

Maintain some semblance of composure;
Abandon any hope of closure.

Jane Blanchard lives and writes in Georgia. Her first collection, Unloosed, and her second, Tides & Currents, are both available from Kelsay Books.
