While You Were Gone

I've since started smoking cigarettes.
My job sucks and it's the only way to take breaks.
I've read seven books.
There's a lot of free time, I guess.
I've shaved my head down to just a fuzz.
I shaved away the hair that you would know.
All that survives is the bit grown in while you were gone.
I've written you twelve poems.
This is the thirteenth.
I've decided my new favorite color is yellow.
Blue was getting old, anyway.
I've lost nearly fifteen pounds.
I'm just not hungry anymore.
I've saved a lot of money.
I can afford to leave for good soon.
I've stopped listening to music as much as I used to.
Inspiration comes sporadically now.
I've stopped talking to people.
I just don't want them to hear me like you did.
I've started taking pills to help me sleep.
I went to buy them instead of saying bye
before you left.
