El Tri
Old Gossips in the Neighborhood
There are people who pay close attention
to the speck in someone else's eye
and never realize
the beam they have in their own
There are those who dedicate
themselves to criticizing others
and end up making gossip
a way of life, a profession
laundry room gossip
gossipy old ladies in the neighborhood
always thinking
of lies to make up
they remind me of the busybodies
playing cards in the afternoons
and turning hot gossip
into a way of life
an institution
laundry room gossip
gossipy old ladies in the neighborhood
always airing out
the dirt
