I don’t believe it;
I refuse to believe it,
regardless of what
the Hometown blogs say,
maybe this is proof
that she’ll only go so far
to honor her
commitments
to the clutch of
characters
she’s hooked up with,
perhaps,
she even put her foot
down,
forcing those others
to find someone else
to do
what she won’t do.
In this scummy world
full of scummy people,
she seems the least tainted,
desperate to fit in
when fitting in means
doing something beyond the pale
of what she’s even
done before,
even if the old woman on that cruise
long ago taught her
how,
doing for herself is different
from doing for
someone else,
so I refuse to believe,
maybe I’m as blinded
by the light
as all the others who
love her are,
seeing what I want
or need to see,
rather than what is,
needing all this
not to be true
if only for my own sake.
