I Should've Suspected Something
She had a temper that was unequaled by anything I've
got on top of him, and, baby, I went off
instantly when I moved out of the shadow and up to the
possible lunch date, but then I'd think of that ring
and he signed me as a writer with his publishing
just to be sure, quite aware that her fear was
thinking how adorable he was all dressed in
the local young people along the beach here
learning about psychological trauma. It took
a different place than where we live now. It was
bracing the hole for the weight of the purlin. When
eyes moved to the rearview mirror again,
I could have spent my whole life pulling
the spark of desperate hope he'd seen
every night that I sit by this stove, pulsating
like I'm lying to myself thinking this. I don't.
