When we lived together,
six to a room
you asked me and our other roommates
to vacate so you could have
your girlfriend over for the weekend.
As I recall, the other guys acquiesced.
As you recall, I did not.

Yours did not seem a justifiable request.
It seemed outsized, inconvenient,
and nothing that would ever be reciprocated.
I didn’t like the temerity of your ask.
I could tell you were upset, but your girlfriend seemed to understand.
She came anyway, and you seemed to find other arrangements
that didn’t seem to put five other people out
for your convenience.

I guess maybe it worked out, then.
