perhaps I had burned my hand
held my palm (had my palm held) to the hot stove
I was home alone (was not alone)
you know how careless children can be
(I was never a careless child)
she said that was so possible,
a reason why he was able to find me
there alone on the road in the dark
and all that happened afterwards
who knows?
(three people knew. two lied.)
