      March 31, 2019The Curious Case of theKat La Mantia

      this part is heavy
      the twist
      take off the mask and
      oh you meddling kids
      it was the butler
      the baker
      the buyer
      who wanted to sabotage
      the house
      for a lower price
      i read nancy drew as a
      yellow board-bearing child
      and i always
      skipped to the end
      to see
      to check
      to make sure I did not
      put my faith in someone
      undeservingly
       
      this part is heavy
      crushing
      to be duped
      to think one thing and
      find another
      i don’t know how
      this one ends

      “This week’s mystery: how a president who looks so guilty of colluding with Russia is somehow not guilty of colluding with Russia. We should have known. The guilty looking ones are always red herrings.”
