A Lot Happened You just didn't want to talk about it*

28. prompt: "what really happened"


In those days
we always said
"Nothing" in that tone
you use to tell your parent
they couldn't possibly guess
and had better not try.
Then there was a retribution
which made you all the more
clear it didn't matter
what you always said
in those days.

and bloggery)
