the truth shall set you free

you hire a detective
to see
if she's cheating on you
again.
lying through her teeth
once more.
putting on her casual
air
of innocence. but
my man is good.
a gumshoe of the very
best.
he blends into the trees.
smooth as silk
with his
deft moves.
no one can escape
his tail.
just take a few pictures
you tell him
of her and her lover.
they usually meet
in a park,
or some special
place
off the beaten track.
i'll be out of town
so i'm
sure they'll plan a
sweet little
rendezvous.
you pay him double
for his work and he
tips his hat.
i'll get you what
you need, he says,
striking a match
to light his cigarette.
give cheaters time and
rope and they
all slip up eventually.
have a nice trip,
you're worries are about
to be over.
