Eavesdropping #3

Eavesdropping #3

Conversation through a locked bathroom door.

My boss asked me to take this poem down because the poetry I overhear is too close to the reality of others.

  1. A dialogue poem with great poignancy and bittersweet irony. The "Conversation" in the title is much more than mild pleasant chit chat: it's pleading, protest, persuasion, apology, questioning. The irony of the situation (the mother and son talking about how the son doesn't want to talk to visitors) is most keen in the lines "talk to them / tell them how you feel"

  2. How odd that you'd be asked to remove it. Perhaps you can modify it to make it less identifiable. It was an interesting piece
