Poem: Gossip

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.
