When she texted me about the hair brush,
I was tempted to ask which end she used, 
the smart aleck response I might
 have spouted out in
junior high,
 which might have made
her angry
 just the way my
remarks did with bullies back then.
Just why she told me this, I may never know,
 just as I may never
know more about her than I know now.
I am too caught up in what I think she is,
 yet haven't a clue if
what I what I think is real,
if she actually likes me, or if she just likes 
yanking my chain with remarks like 
she made about the brush, 
to see how shocked I might get, 
though I would like to think she trusts
 to tell me these
things,
 though i don't quite
trust myself to believe it, 
feeling as if I am a puppet
she the puppet master,
 each time she pulls a
string,
 my limbs jerk
 and I do what she
wants.
