Enter the whispering.
Followed by the giggling.
Then, the note passing.
You’re entertaining yourself
by sticking your nose
in someone else’s business.
You talk about
instead of talk to the person.
Your wondering,
inquiring,
and assuming
is unjustified.
Gossip sells,
hurts,
and entertains.
Is participation
in a potentially destructive act
necessary?
Or does it
feel better
when it’s someone else?
Nevertheless,
it’s wrong,
detestable,
and harmful.
