Wispers
November 13, 2011
I've always been alert to it.
To teachers whispering.
Second grade.
Story time interrupted,
By 5 seconds of whispers.
What is it Ms. Baker?
30 eyes, locked on her.
Thirsty for the secret shared.
A barn burnt down.
A lie.
Oblivious, we accept this.
Home that day,
I learn.
The Towers were the barn,
The cows, the people.
Falling down to their demise.
Now, each whisper,
Burns into me,
What might be waiting at home.
