I thought I knew that woman
We had coffee and talked for hours
I felt I really got to know her
The next time I met her
At the park down the street-
I saw her helping a child
I stared at her in disbelief because
Unlike last time
She had piercings and tattoos everywhere
She was dressed so scantily
I thought I knew that woman
If this angered you, try reading it again going through each line from the bottom up ;)
