What Do They Say?

They gossip
& they talk,
about how he's on a whip
or how she walks.

They're so kind
To their face.
What if I were to find
A change in the pace?

what do they say
When I'm not there?
When I'm away,
Do they even care?

Why do they have
That look in their eye?
Do they secretly laugh?
Is everything they say a lie?

Do I want to find out?
I'm not sure I want to know.
But what are they laughing about
As I turn to go?
