who they are

is it true, I ask, when I
listen
to the words on the phone.
the dirt the gossip
that comes down the grapevine.
did that really
happen, are you sure.
both of them together once more?
how do you know, I ask.
I can't believe that actually
happened. not again.
it's unreal,
shocking.
wow. unbelievable.
I can't believe my ears.
but in all honesty.
I saw it coming. it's who
they are.
