Gossip
It’s awful to admit
I was hoping – bad news
When her name came up
I hoped she’d fallen
Nothing disastrous
Maybe divorce
Nothing horrible
Possibly bankrupt
Nothing fatal
Something disfiguring
Yes, I had hoped she fell
After her name came up
I was hoping for bad news
It’s just awful to admit

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
