Private Parts
For no apparent reason
everyone was able to read each other's minds
Soon after the streets were nearly empty
The people hid themselves inside their homes
within their homes they stowed away in bedrooms.
The homeless and street walkers were the only ones
that went public,
they'd known for a long time what everyone was thinking.
Over time some got closer to God
others drifted far and away
Some just hung themselves
on the most private parts of their minds.
