Hey, It's International Share a
Secret Day, or I've been lied to,anyway it's a day when spies
and politicians go mad &
confessors go glad, pleased
to let at least one heavy hidden
tale fly light and free and bright
like a butterfly. Many secrets
there are out there today!
They swarm like hornets,
they roll like waves of desert
dust, and some stink like
putrefied garbage. I've kept
some secrets so long, they've
dried up like dates in a pharaoh's
tomb & there's nothing to tell,
so I make something up. I lie.
I whisper fiction-secrets
like squeaking crickets
on this gabby, shabby date called
International Share a Secret Day.
