Trust Issues
A friend you don’t know calls
to tell you she’s married a man
who could be her son, then admits
she has a son she’s never met
by another friend who last week
sent a message to let you know
he’s been in and out of rehab
for as long as you’ve known him
and to give you that advice
you trusted only him to give
about how to question your lover
about her intentions, without her
suspecting you of trust issues
that you most certainly have
but have tried so hard to keep
from intruding on the truth
of the fantasy life you’re
trying so hard to create.
