250 solitaires
are not exactly
100 years of solitude
except when they are
250 solitaires
of different varieties
offering the illusion
of diversity
250 solitaires
in one app
for one person
to live within
250 solitaires
instead of writing
instead of reading
instead of sleeping
instead of talking
250 solitaires
interrupted by a phone call
from an old friend
(all my friends are old,
like me)
a friend from years ago
work years
250 solitaires
forgotten
as soon as I hear
her hello
