REVISED REGRETS + RECRIMINATIONS

I was envious of the poets reading at the University of Southern California but then I remembered I  read too.

I was miffed when I saw her listed for the conference but then I noticed that was last year and I was there.

I was agog to hear about the trip but then I remembered I was on it.

I was jealous of the poem and then I saw I wrote it.

I was aghast when I saw his love letter but then I realized he'd written it to me.

I was proud that I hid my annoyance when she took my flip flops again but then I saw them under my bed.

Someone takes the Tweezerman tweezers every time I buy a set.  I don't know if it's the same someone or a different someone.  But someone.  Probably a different someone because the first someone has left home.  Accompanied by a horde of Tweezermen. 

I was beginning to think I was always wrong in my accusatory fulminations but then I found my international adaptor in someone's bookcase.

There they go again taking the thing taking the thing taking the thing.  But then I move the other thing aside and there's the thing!
