growing up
my mother used to tell me
during her more lucid moments
of motherhood
that people who lie often
lie enough that they believe themselves
and I used to think that wasn't true
like
how could that be possible
when surely
we all live in the same reality?
but the older I get
the more I realize
she was right
and maybe in that strange way
she knew herself
the way we all eventually understand ourselves
