A Child's Honesty

“A CHILD’S HONESTY”

today I sat and typed 
out a few poems. 
today they came as 
naturally as a lie 
comes from a female’s 
mouth. 
today I had my son and 
the two little girls. 
as I typed and they 
watched television, 
my phone rang. 
the ringtone was clear: 
BULLSHITTER ALERT! 
BULLSHITTER ALERT! 
the oldest of the two 
girls smiled at me. 
“Eddie, it’s mine and 
my sister’s mom.”
