I confessI didn't tell you
because I knew I'd be summoned
to your desk.
You'd ask questions,
use Wordly Wise words.
Say subtle things in class
about it.
Whether the others knew or not.
Asking us if we understood,
when you know we did.
Only us.
We do,
We do understand.
Understand
what you're trying to set up
by saying that.
That's why I didn't tell you.
Why I kept quiet.
Why I didn't mention anything.
I'm sorry I didn't
I know I should have...
maybe.
But at least,
now you know
why I zipped my lips.
This is beautiful. What a way poetry can spring forth when you have inspiration.

ReplyDeleteVery good poem. Even though it took me like half an hour to find out what were you were talking about. I blame my attention span. The title was great as well, it really was symbolic for the entire poem...
