Rehearsals held in his mind:
his choice of words, their tone, volume, pace
expecting to part ways business-like:
with firm hand-shake, restrained expression,
no tight embraces, as he signs his name
(omitting a sigh from the dotted line)
remembering not to look back (at her)
after walking away, nor recall yesterday
how it was without good-bye.
