at me
with all the seriousness of a child
with chocolate
on his mouth and crumbs
on his shirt,
and says to me,
staring into my eyes,
are you asking me
if i'm lying to you?
is that what you're asking?
yes, i say.
well, are you?
hmm, she says. let me think
for a minute.
have i lied to you yet?
of course i have,
yes.
