Currently Unpublishable

pre-mortem would not be acceptable;
post-mortem is a long ways away.
let sleeping dogs lie, let secrets
stay hidden in dark spaces;  others
think they know us, surprised to learn
later of affairs, illegitimate children,
forged degrees, skeletons rattle
in all closets; let them rattle in
silence.
