So
As I was saying
Before your neighbor
Interrupted
And by the way
She's a nice little lady
And her apple pie
Was just about
Perfect
Say hi to her
When you see her
Next
What?
Oh yes, where was I
On Florence
Yes, that's right
The place just
Past third
You see there is this little
Store I frequent
Full of knick knacks
Whatnots and blind alleys
And I'm searching
The discount bin
Your right
I am quite the spend thrift
The discount bin
At the second hand store
I get it, I get it
But its not high irony
Anyway
There I was
And I found this little treasure
A book
Bound in leather
It was about six inches
Top to bottom
Faded gilt letters
Yes, I could just make it out
The name read
*Razbliuto*
I know, the suspense is
Killing you
You've made that clear
But what I want
What I need you to
Understand
Is that I'd never seen this book
Before
Not once
Not ever I'm telling you
And yes its a big deal
I'm getting to that
Just listen
This is my story
So, ok
Gold letters, faded, you got it?
Well
I opened it up
And
The first page was the title
Yes, the same title
I know, I just thought
A little false suspense was ok
So I turn to the first
Chapter
And there she was!
Who? Her!
You know, her.
The very same
Picture and everything
And then a recitation
Of the time we'd spent
Together
What?
It's the act of
Enumerating or listing
Of details
Yes, I know it is usually
Oral, but
It seemed apt
And at the end of the...
Main text, if you will
Written in italics
It listed why we broke up
And you want to know
The strange part?
The next chapter
Was about another
That I once loved
Then another
And another, surely
You get the picture by now
Was it off putting?
Yes!
I was shaken and disturbed
Yes, I bought it!
I'm a bit afraid to show it
You know, its a private thing
I know you were there
You've had my back
Through all those times
Ok, but, well just look
What do you mean?
That can't be right!
No, it was her
So your saying that the first
Chapter
Is your ex?!
