Aftermath
by Sheryl Sirotnik

It's not about our disappointment
Not about our sureness upended
Not about our upheaval
It's about sitting in the coffee shop
Across from the nice ex cop
And you know how he voted
It's about texting with your ex lover
The radical, the purist
And you know how he voted
It's about your high school friend
Who wrote in "Mickey Mouse"
It's about picking up the pieces
You sit there with your small safety pin
Pinned to the front of your shirt
Because the undoing
Will be worse than the doing
