hard worker, honest, sincere,
good folk – observed for years.
I don't know her. Learned things,
these years later. Surprised, confused,
befuddled. How could I not have seen
the sum of what I knew was assumptions,
believing public fronts.
Judge not. Either pro or con
you don't know what you've surmised.
My job is not to evaluate her.
I keep my side of the street clean,
work my program. Leave the pedestals
and barrel bottoms to others.
Who she is is no business of mine.
Who I am is my business
one day at a time.
