Small Talk

Fine, oh, good, nice, yes, no. How did our relationship become reduced to this? Who is the person in my wise mother's body? I used to go to her for advice, with my most painful struggles. Her life, her morals have changed so radically that I no longer even have that option. I cannot even trust her to tell the truth...whether intentionally or unintentionally; either way is alarming!

Where are you? Who took you?
