Now I’m in trouble
again
for going to a museum
in New York
with a girl
that’s dating someone else
It was actually
a pretty harmless affair
platonic thru & thru
and at the risk
of plagiarizing Shakespeare
I’d say the whole thing
Is much ado about nothing
I won’t even get into
her relationship
with her boyfriend
which isn’t a very good one
which is being very kind
one thing
experience has taught me
is that when two people
so obviously incompatible
insist on being together
my best course of action
is to remain silent
and far away from the action
my words would have no impact
and I don’t really want
to get stuck in the middle of it
