Bones

this stripper I knew --
made no bones
that she was screwing her sugar daddy
for his money ...

it wasn't a secret to us, anyhow

later, I heard he'd died
and left it all to her

I saw her out somewhere
said, "hey ... sorry to hear about that ..."

maybe there was some feeling there
something had grown
as things tend to do

but she only smiled, said
"yeah ... at least he died believing
somebody loved him."

that's nice, I thought ...

I wonder if it's true
