Series Finale
Life is not
A series of cheery misadventures
Designed to neatly wrap in 30 minutes
There’s no B plot to your A
No convenient cutaways
You suffer through every painful,
Awkward,
Ugly scene
Vividly, acutely, living every detail
No promises you will not fail
For here we’re all protagonists
Here, we all share equal billing
The world doesn’t revolve around one
All just supporting characters to
Further your storyline
A child is not your prop
You can’t really have a spouse be
Oft-mentioned-but-never-seen
Proposing after 2 months
Only works for a select few
Please leave the coffee shop and
Actually turn up for work
Not every cough is a sign of death
Nor every impulsive kiss an unforgivable gaffe
You can’t expect folks
To stay the same through ten seasons
The only sign a year has passed
The length and shade of their hair
And as for closure
What is true closure?
Sometimes a character leaves
And just isn’t mentioned again
Not even a spin-off to explain her away
He won’t return in the series finale
For life is not
A feel-good sitcom
Sometimes you get your happy ending
And sometimes just an end
