then decide

you need
to see someone when the chips
are down.
without make up.
depressed and sad
over
a soap opera.
without a pretty dress on.
with a cold
and a runny nose.
maybe a bruised
knee,
a scraped elbow.
someone who's lost money
in the market,
dented her car.
you need to see her in
trouble, having a bad
hair day.
with a cake that didn't rise,
crying about having
gained an ounce
of weight.
once you get a peek at
that, then decide.
