i don't want to know

not unlike my

mother, may she rest in peace,

(finally)

i can't keep a secret.

i can't be trusted with information

sworn

to secrecy.

lies, infidelity, thievery,

adultery,

or whatever

you or your friends might

be hiding,

it won't keep with me.

i may make a vow, a promise,

to put it in the vault

and throw

the away the key,

but

the second someone tells

me something,

i have this crazy desire

to tell

someone else.

to get on the phone and

say, you won't believe this.

which i do at some point,

rationalizing

the reason for doing so.

so please, don't tell me anything

anymore.

no more secrets, keep them

all to yourself.
