A LINE UNDER

I laughed about it with Furst, it seemed ridiculous.
‘Who else was there, that I’d know?’ I said asking about last night’s party I’d not been invited to.
‘Island John, Levi, Shree, Simple...’
‘Yes ok,’ I said. ‘I get the picture. Anyone ask why I wasn’t there?’
‘I don’t think anyone noticed,’ he said, then ‘What’s it like being excluded?’
‘It does feel a bit strange...but really, it’s not the first time.’
‘Why is this different?’ he said.
‘It might be we’ve no contact recently, or the time at the gig I left without saying goodbye, he was talking to a couple of people so, you know...but whatever, I’ll draw a line under it.’
