POEM 300: ENDING

Hi
A boy with dreams awakes from his sleep
yawns and stretches back to life
his fingers massage a smartphone's screen
her greetings to reply
but what a boy would never know

Bye
A boy with dreams beckoned by sleep
yawns and sprawls on his bed
his fingers lay on his phone's screen
paralyzed by her 'au revoir'
a boy realized rather late
he'd chewed a poisoned bait.

It starts with a 'Hi'
It ends with a 'Bye'
Never one told a dreamer boy
That for every start, ending will deploy.

This is not a poem

Please come in and have a seat" After a moment, she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?" "Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun too; you can really spread out!" "Bathtub, living room floo...
