Magdolene

In all fairness, she did once tell me that she was insane,
but not long after she said, "But I know that I'm mad,
and truly mad people never know they're mad,
so, really, I must be okay." I told her I was not sure
that was the way it worked. I watched her mouth
force itself into a half smile, though it came out
more like a half frown. I could not help but kiss her.
