Notes About The Poem

name dropping

it was the shock
of how suddenly
it dawned on me

how it was obvious
i could hear it
it was quite noticeable
there was no hiding it

there was something 
different in my voice
an irrepressible sparkle
and that's when i knew

i knew they too would know
but him, he'd be destined 
to be the last to find out
