THE BAND I USED TO, STILL, LIKE

the song ends in the middle 
and it’s disconcerting,
it makes me feel as if the world abruptly ended,
especially since i kinda liked the song,
it was one of those songs by one of those bands
that is at the tip of my tongue,
that i used to know their name and all the names of the band members,
but now they’re a distant memory and i can barely,
rarely, fairly, remember the name of my first girlfriend,
who gave me mono—
though i don’t think it was completely her fault,
i wasn’t all that great of a first-time kisser,
if i’m being honest
