their whispers



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.
