Poem: While driving home from seeing a performance of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" last Sunday


I wrote the original of this poem on February 26, 2018, shortly after the actual incident. This is a true story, and a sequel of sorts to another poem I wrote a few years ago. 

While driving home from seeing a performance of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" last Sunday

My hand went to the spot
where your hand would be
when you and I used to ride together

Instead
I found the program from the play
I had just seen with a friend.
