I just heard them whisper. This couple at the
library. I am sitting here looking at funny articles and serious ones. I am
just passing time. This should be done reclining in bed. This sofa at the
library is my bed.
I heard them whisper and I remember the other whisperers
at the neukolln café with free wifi.
They made me so angry with their whispers
too. I couldn’t make out why I was so angry. Well one of them was vocal but
speaking in german. The other was practically voiceless but yet he was
speaking. And I thought am I angry because they're a gay couple? Because I
cannot understand what they say? Because I cannot overhear them and scrutinize
their relationship?
But I think now I get it. Now I know why I am
pissed off. It's because they have a connection and I don't have it. I don't
have anyone to whisper to. They have a secret they don't want the world to
know. And they can have it and keep it and whisper it. I can't. I don't.
