EOD

 

I taught nothing 

nobody listened

 

I eavesdropped 

on conversations

 

remembered 

tried to imagine

 

morning came 

sometimes I relented

 

but I was there 

head full of danger  

 

heart full 

of mother

 

even when 

I could’ve killed 

the people 

 

I was working for

I still wore 

 

the button- 

down shirt
