the truth

John Sweet

spent a lot of time
making no one happy

tried doing it drunk, tried doing
it with a headful of speed, then
finally just let it happen naturally

sat on the edge of the bed
while kathy cried

listened quietly to andrea on
the other end of the phone

so many wasted hours filled
with so many meaningless words
until finally the house was
silent

until finally the kids were
asleep

both of them perfect in
such obvious ways
