Talk About
What people talk about
Is what people don’t talk about,
Pure gossiping fantasy
That from time to time
Has a thread of truth,
A story blossoming
From a partial seed of fact,
The hookers of Campbellton
Who are not really there,
The phantom bikers
Who only pass through
On long weekends
Going somewhere else
To do their things,
What does the gorgeous
Single mom do at night,
Who is seeing who
Slyly on the side,
Does the poet write
About someone local
Or has he really been
To the ancient island
Of Ithaca.
