gone, by Ray Heinrich

gone

so which side of the joke
happened to land where?
you were in the next room
and i was in here
and you had just said something really funny
and i was laughing
and about to tell you how full of shit you really are
when the door slammed
and it's as simple as that
and it doesn't matter how much i keep kicking it
or how much the cat scratches to get out
the handle's gone
and sooner or later we'll have to give up
limp to the kitchen
and stare
at what's left in the fridge
