Dont Tell Anyone
Love all but trust a few
a secret shared is no more
in the hidden dark corner.
“I fell from a Tree” to a best friend
was jokingly said in a serious conversation
which ended with “don’t tell anyone”
The connection is endless and remarkable;
friends are friends to other friends of friends,
the subject passes by, amusement is derived
“she has bad breath and now falls from Trees”?
Is the recap of a story
ending with a plea not to tell anyone.
In a place of worship, giving thanks,
a congregant sees
and shakes her head in innocent pity.
“she’s done well, considering her jobless status,
taking care of medical bills
for halitosis and accidents”
“don’t tell anyone” is said
to the next worshiper who hears.
In the supermarket, an item is forgotten
from afar, a middle-aged lady
brings such to attention.
After much gratitude comes a careless remark
“its herbal tooth-wash
especially good for
the accident-woman with a bad breath”.
“Oh sorry,
that suppose to be
a secret, or do you know her”?
He speaks with a smile, still in appreciation,
as she regresses her obvious limping steps
in sadness and shame,
the result of her untimely sneeze
sums up the great clue of her identity.
Many ears can’t just be avoided
by an unleashed secret!-is her regret.
