Day/Poem 3 of the Read Write Poem Poetry Mini-Challenge. I'm tired and my leg hurts for no reason; none of which is relevant to the poem, but I thought I would share. Also, tomorrow is Friday and for that I am very grateful.
Eavesdropping 3
Two girls sit behind me
Whispering
Swapping secrets like there’s no
Tomorrow
I can’t see their faces
And I’m too afraid to turn around
For fear they will stop speaking
I wait patiently
Ignoring the whiz of cars flying past
And the woman two seats over yelling
Obscenities into her cell phone
Slowly I hear the words
Begin to seep from her mouth
I know they were once my own
You can’t tell anyone but technically
She pauses for a moment
Technically
I never said no
