the whole
world to know
about something serious
that was
going on in your
life, all
you had to do was phone
my mother
and tell her the story.
you'd ask her
to swear to God
that she'd never breathe a word
of what you were about
to tell her to anyone,
stressing the word,
anyone, several times,
until you got
a weak, okay.
she could keep a secret
for about three
minutes, tops.
four minutes if the other line
was busy.
