No Such Agency
We sneak in hallways,
coast through lunchrooms,
slamming our lockers,
filling our trays
with unidentified helpings of you.
Our tongues slip on the familiar
so we close our mouths against the reveal.
We shut up and hold still
until our pinks chameleon into whatever color
it is that you are.
Under cover, we become a part of your group.
The cover conceals us from ourselves.
And we become children
hiding in our own dark you,
unseen by us.
