A friend told me
she didn't want
to see anyone
Maybe that was
an approximation,
but maybe
it was only
a glorified
exaggeration,
and really she
just didn't want
to see me--
because I know
she is not home
right now; yet
her mother and
stepfather and
her dogs are.
So whom
instead of me
is she seeing?
and who
instead of me
is so loved?
