Go with the flow of the texts
The value of words unread 

Regressive communication

The art of ghosting 
Is easy to master

The loss of you 
Is no disaster

Akin to misplacing
A paperclip
An inkless pen

Loose change
Now and then

Emotionally negligible items

I'll go with the flow of your texts
Read the subtext
Recalibrate my investment

Losing you is no disaster

Bishop’s One Art is still my all-time favourite and I met her long before it ever occurred to me that I might be a poet.
