Q & A

Someone asked me what I write about.

(That's a lie I wish were true.)

I had to think.

(If anyone ever did ask, I would have to.)

Everything, I said.

(But that's a lie I don't wish were true.)

Everything, she said.

(In a dream world, I can pick; it was a she.)

Everything, I said.

(I guess I know what perjury looks like.)

She walked away laughing.

(Even my dreams don't always agree with me.)

All right, I said. So maybe I write about nothing.

(She didn't come back.)
