A chorus of birds takes on the leading role in a poem exploring creativity and freedom of expression
The Opposite of Confidential
Nobody questions the birds.
Their trills are never subject to inspection or
forced to satisfy requirements.
Light-boned libertarians
(the opposite of confidential),
they cannot keep it in.
You will not see them lining up in rows,
reeling off content-approved medleys
to a committee of creatures who know
nothing of song, and who
certainly don’t have wings.
