I heard about a man,
once,
with trust issues and when
he was proved right
no one was amused
and there was no mirth
in that vindication.

Never met the man
or his problems
but I feel his pains
as they reverberate
off of every wall and
corner and the big brass
bell
on the building downtown

I wonder if he’ll ever
trust again. Then,
I guess he hasn’t so far
and I guess he was right
and so what does that say?
Should all our trusts
have issues?

Do they?
