NaPoWriMo - Day 28 - 'A story in reverse' poem

Writing a story in reverse is today's prompt for NaPoWriMo (day 28). I had to write it forward first! It can be read both ways:

How we got here

After breakfast he left with his suitcase

And I went to bed.

I laughed.

He reminded me of a clown.

I mud pied him with stew and dumplings

And he laughed!

Food had congealed on the plate.

He was so late 

Timing wasn’t his thing.

He never phoned.
