Poem :The Opposite of Confidential

in #poem7 years ago

A chorus of birds takes on the leading role in a poem exploring creativity and freedom of expression

The Opposite of Confidential 

Nobody questions the birds.
Their trills are never subject to inspection or
forced to satisfy requirements. 

 Light-boned libertarians
(the opposite of confidential),
they cannot keep it in. 

 You will not see them lining up in rows,
reeling off content-approved medleys
to a committee of creatures who know 

 nothing of song, and who
certainly don’t have wings.
