free write — “inbox”

Day 4
My inbox is cluttered,
In college I was always afraid to check it,
afraid I had forgotten some asignment,
missed office hours,
failed to pay a tuition bill.

Now, it’s mostly garbage anyways;
“Junk.”
I try to communicate,
I struggle to. . .

My ex and I used to send love emails, from across the library — pretending we were having an affair with each-other.

I called him “William” and joked that “billy” would discover us.

Young love.
Inboxes.
Now, packed away,
In boxes.

xx Monique
