ever since

And ever since
the story was told,
the book snapped shut, the bookmark
fluttered
to the cold floor, this book

need never be marked any more

We both looked up: the ending
known. No spoilers left, no twists
to unexpect

I could've sworn
the story would've gone the other way.

I guess it's okay, expectations
can dash
far, far ahead

to the happy ending, while all the while
the story was never going to go

that way,
that far, that
fast.
