Evasion Of A Tearful Story

as she was telling
her own version of the story
which the other
in advance said was fabricated
(she used the term fake)
her
tears
keep
falling

like corn
seeds

i look at the ceiling trying to find
the spider

or the lizard trying to swallow
a whole
careless mosquito

things are like these sometimes

evade, what destroys our day
climb on the stairs of the imagination
forget
forgive
if not
go away
