Eavesdropping

From where I sit in my office 

door closed

trying to write, 

the dishwasher sounds like 

a hushed conversation. 


I try to discern the discourse. 


Maybe it could become dialogue 

in my latest story. 

But it remains vague. 


As frustrating as eavesdropping 

on my grandparents, 

trying to gain inside information regarding 

gifts and other secrets, 


but their low voices 

coupled with the German they spoke, 

kept me properly completely mystified.
