She Read Maya Angelou

I found a lipstick note

 on the mirror

 thanking Maya Angelou

for reminding

you to believe me

the first time

I showed you

who I was.


Deception reflects

lack of understanding,

yet discerning the truth 

demands belief.


I wrote a return

note on the mirror 

to you and Ms. Angelou:


Oscar Wilde told me

to tell you 

that deceiving others is 

called romance.
