i didn't know he was married

i didn't know
he was
married at the time, she tells me
after ending
her seven year affair.
he kept his wedding
ring in his pocket.
but he brought
his lunch to work
every day
in a brown paper bag,
i tell her.
with a thermos
and a cut up apple.
who did you think was
doing that for him,
his mother?
