My Dirty Little Secret

By Tony Brown

is not that I know
what it feels like when a knife
enters a human body;

it’s that I alone know
which end of the knife
taught me that.

  this is excellent because the poem is so straight forward and there’s a little kick at the end. 🙂

    Thank you. As I mentioned earlier and feel compelled to mention again…it’s from a writing prompt.

  It works. Not much that can be said to it, at least nothing that doesn’t sound stupid as hell to me. Oh, well. I still like the piece.
