he’s nudging

hinting

at something

wanting dirt

on her

his ex boss

suggesting

i might have done

the low & dirty

with her

& now

he’s wanting gossip

stuff he can

put on repeat

to anybody might

know her

not that

i have much to tell

less to show

yet i don’t

give a damn

as there was

nothing much

between us

beyond

the half dreams

stupid people have

& fail to create

so i tell him

nothing happened

as there’s the truth
