I would not trust a wolverine
no matter how he loved me;
I would trust a wolverine
to tear my throat at his whim.

I would not trust a seller
who loved me too much;
I would trust a seller
to know what he wanted.

I would not trust booze
to solve what ails me:
I would trust booze
to cause and cauterize my wounds.

I would not trust a doctor
to know my suffering;
I would trust a doctor
to know my category.

I would not trust snow
to stay in summer;
I would trust snowflakes
to melt into the sky.

I would not trust a politician
to keep a promise;
I would trust a promise
to keep disappearing magically.

I would not trust lightning
to disobey all laws;
I would trust lightning
to be primal and majestic.

I would trust you
to know who this:
no matter what, trust this:
I am I and so are you.
