If you truck with gossips

it’s no toss-up how that ends

soon it’s you

to be the who

is topic to his friends

>vivisecting<

choice selections

told to him in private

skewed to

)fit)

the worldview

of chatty autopilot

it’s just a fact

that talking smack

will set a karmic table,

the dirt you dish

presents the risk

of starring in that fable.

  1. Karma is a BOOMERANG!

  2. I can’t believe the way people thrive on gossip sometimes. Now – I just sit back & watch…
    Karma really does eventually show up.

    • for me? i just don’t care that much…to talk about people. It’s more interesting what’s going on in the world–kaleidoscope vision…that kind of thing. I can get sucked in–as this poem alludes–and always pay a price.

      It’s like this: steal little–steal big. That’s all there is to it. 🙂

      Thank you for your fine remark-ery, RoSy! It is always fun to banter with you.
