22. Looking Into You
Was your marriage like holding
Hands and then looking up
And not recognizing who walked
Beside you?
Or maybe it was more
Like loving or loving’s
Drunk cousin, infatuation,
Or even worse,
His cruel stepmother
Obsession who took
To the brink of knowing
Another person but never
Really knowing them at all.
And what about that time
When your girl was big-eyed
Looking into you and him
And you wondered if she
Could see the truth and what
It would be like to unzip
Her skull so finally you
Could see it too?
