What I Get For Asking

he hovers over her
while she’s working
he’s there
the whole time
waiting until
she’s finished so
he can
drive her home
never lets her
get out of
his sight and
I can’t help
thinking maybe
he’s dangerous
maybe he’s a
threat to
her safety but
when I ask her
about it
she says
she loves him and
why don’t I
just mind
my own
fucking business
