Dear, Iowa: It was great while it lasted

It was awesome at first, and you knew just how to play me — all coy, and keeping your distance. But then that veneer of mystery started to fade. The heels, the eye shadow, the awkwardly undemocratic electoral structures — I feel like I can see right through them all now.
To be honest — and it might be hard for you to hear — I’ve met somebody else. New, exciting, and really low maintenance.
I know that my emotions might seem fickle, but deep down inside we both had a sense that this long-distance thing just wasn’t meant to last. I don’t think we have much of a romantic future, but I’d like to stay real good friends. And who knows what’ll happen — three, four years from now. Maybe even an awkward one-nighter in Novemeber… this world’s a crazy place.
TUESDAY NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY PARTY @ LOCAL 121, on THE BIG SCREEN!!!!!
