SECRETS

 
We all have our secrets -
kept inside a handkerchief –
in the back of a bottom drawer –
underneath a pair of sweatpants.
There might be 55 other things
in our bedroom – but our secrets
are present and noisy – like the scream
of an alarm clock and we don’t like
their sound - especially when they
go off at the wrong, wrong time.
