People did not ask you to sign a release formDeborah Wardlaw PattilloPeople did not ask you to sign a release form You saw no waiver or release form, only a disclaimer claiming you have no claim to those thoughts There were no lawyers involved, only a silent majority The silent majority now sees what you were thinking The silent majority now enjoys images of that hairstyle you had not yet decided to show your mother The silent majority pockets that memento you had not yet earmarked for your lover In casual friend-making, you had given it away, not yet knowing that that would be auctioned at your estate sale These panties are not your panties; all panties belong to the silent majority Who you have slept with is a matter of public record, and gossip has gone the way of disease in terms of level-one priority There is no such thing as a need-to-know basis ever since you opened your mouth You thought there might be a way of giving solely to give, but you had not accounted for the taking Those photographs are now live-video stream There is an animal called a Pod-Cast It implies both fishing and infestation Its net is wide and irretrievable Deborah Wardlaw Pattillo Read Bio Author Discusses Poems |
