They say
life is not like a soap opera --
those fables on TV
of fantasy, great wealth,
excessive cheating,
murder, and greed,
with lives that seem too ridicuously
dramatic
to ever be real.
And yet -
someone had to tell me
that my husband was caught
with another woman
by
his pregnant girlfriend
who doesn't know
he's married
and not
divorced.
Who says life isn't like a soap opera?
(c) 1977 Nan C.
