joe and linda finally met.
along with their friend, nora,
they had their time set.


so the story goes,
joe,linda and nora went around the mall.
they did what everyone did,
but they had more fun than everyone else.


linda said, the company was great.
nora agreed.


joe and linda finally met for the first time.
the day was short. the day was sweet. the day went well.
nora laughed. linda smiled.
and linda wished joe did too.


nora said the day was great.
and linda hoped joe meant what he said.



and then, a thought just came
she got the picture, she knows the game


a chord was struck, a minor one.
she feels so bad.
the truth, the lies, the hidden gun.
