this little secret

was discovered in a shoebox

wedged in a hedge

in the nowhere of the middle

this little secret

it never really had a name

yet knew too much & ran away

i found it in an alleyway

this little secret

well this one takes the biscuit

it was passed down from a great-aunt

who i still don't know existed

& this little secret

was once a set of ten

before the other nine revealed themselves

it's not a secret then
