ON GETTING THROUGH YOUR DAY AFTER A BREAKUP

ON GETTING THROUGH YOUR DAY AFTER A BREAKUP

Go to class

Talk about philosophy

Your professor tells you that philosophy

Is the love of knowledge

Google philosophy of a breakup on your computer

Find 0 search results

Wonder what the hell philosophy is even for

Remember something about stumbling out of a cave

And seeing the light

Go to your first day of work

Fucking crush it in the meeting

Blush when everyone tells you how insightful you are

Try not to vomit because of the irony

That if you're so insightful

Why do you only realize things in hindsight

When they comment on how pale you look

Tell them it's because you drank coffee on an empty stomach

Remember how he always told you never to do that

Because he was worried about your health

And that he wants to be friends

Try not to vomit because of the irony

Prepare to vote in the upcoming political election

Think about how insincere it is for you to care about

Any issues like government spending

Because the only issue you care about

Is how efficiently and gracefully you can

Recover the emotional resources you invested

Think about how dumb it is for that to be political

See or hear about him with his new partner

Think whether or not his decision to be with them

Was a political statement or a personal insult

Realize that it's one or the other

The question burning inside is which

Remember what your supervisor said

Earlier at work today

“Everything is political”

Finally get home

Remember everything you've done in this house together

Turn out the light and crawl into the cave of your bed

Think about he could never spend the night

Because he was allergic to something in your house

Think about whether or not that was a warning
