Gossip

Words pass fast,

it troubles you

that I don’t care

a damn about them.

Long ago, darling,

some wise man said

’my way or the highway’

yes, a very wise man.

Can you not understand

my objections?

Are you too absorbed

in sharing our tales?

I’ll laugh at the selfless

especially the pretentious

i hope you don’t turn to one

the lowest of classes

gossip, their sole high in life.
