Hettie's Convoluted Content

"HETTIE'S CONVOLUTED CONTENT"


the main character was in 
a relationship with a woman in 
the movie we were watching.
the girlfriend of that same 
man went out of town. 
the man had his friend over 
for drinks. 
as the female I was with 
drank her beer she said, 
“fu??in cheater!” 
I asked why and she answered 
with every bit of pain from 
her own past. 
“…because, he’s in a 
relationship, he shouldn’t be 
drinking with another woman. 
no one in any relationship 
should be drinking with 
anyone outside of their 
relationship. 
that’s cheating!” 

a year later, she was caught 
drinking with a fat piece of 
baggage she attached to her 
tw?t from years past. 
her precious gangster, one 
she calls her “homie” as she 
lives as a grandmother of 
three. 
she put it on film, although 
neither of them planned on me 
seeing it or having copies of it. 
I put word out that my 
relationship was being thrown 
into the beginning stages of 
hatred and it strategically 
got back to the fat gangster 
and his identity-confused-princess. 
many more people knew what 
these two had done and for 
that, keeping it under the 
cover from me and his wife 
was their curb logic goal.
when she asked why I went 
that far, I told her it was 
cheating, that she was in a 
relationship and shouldn’t be 
drinking with men. 
she gave the very first 
distorted view of her love to me: 
“that’s my friend and I’ll 
drink with him again if I want to!”
