A Brief Inconvenience

she called it
a reality check ..
and as she
said at the time ..
it was just
another one
of those
necessary evils
of course ..
nevertheless
she chose
not to reveal
all the details
at once ..
since she
saw him only
as a brief
inconvenience ..
until that is
she decided
to tell him ..
you’re not even
a drop
in the ocean
mate ..
not worth a light ..
a complete
waste of space
and then
that was it ..
he was over
and done in a flash ..
