Four More Days
My roommate's on the phone with her boyfriend.
They talk of plans they have for the weekend.
They'll go out for dinner on Saturday.
They'll go see a movie one afternoon.
He says he doesn't want to wait four days.
She says they can survive till Friday night.
The joke and talk of ways they could break up.
He'd take her our for coffee as good-bye.
He'd nicely tell her so she would not cry.
She'd write a note and send it through a friend.
He asks if that is what she'd really do.
She smiles to me and says "No, not at all."
     "Oh good.  All right, tell me for real this time."
     "I'd start discussing how we would break up."
