Doesn't
Really
Want
An
Operation
and
Other
Lies

from
North Country Girl

I agree with anon, who wrote here "..lies are not as complicated as the truth."   The lies in my life are banal and nasty, used as a defense against banal nasty people who wouldn't believe, or couldn't take, the truth in any of its beautiful forms. I also agree with the writer who says that the one truth we are left with is kindness.

In that spirit, I offer some of the amazing things in my recent past that are true in every dimension, that sound like stupid lies:

My dying father really doesn't want an operation, and it's o.k. with me, there are as many ass-men as tit-men; having a baby isn't frightening or traumatic; when I called in sick Memorial Day, I was spiking a fever; I really don't get mad at the autistic student who hits me; I've never seen the X-Files, Ally McBeal, Baywatch, ad nauseum; women like Penn and Teller and, especially, to all my phone-sex customers- the reason it was always so good with us is easy to explain- just listen, and tell the truth.With kindness.
