Even all these years later, after all said and done, I still
don’t quite believe her, and think of the lesson that old woman on that cruise
long ago taught her about getting ahead, her husband in her pocket like a
broken watch, she could barely rely on, she always suspected of doing things
she didn’t do, until she got so sick of being accused, she finally did them,
while he used her as an excuse to do them, long before she did, the eye candy
on the side of the stage, men lined up to meet, and yet to believe she didn’t
cheat, how could she resist being irresistible, being so admired, asked again
and again to give something she really wanted to give anyway, eventually –
given enough time and enough men begging, she did it.
