This is a confessional poem but what crimes have I committed? I have not pled guilty or innocent. Maybe innocent by reason of insanity. I am not under a lamp in a windowless room. No officers are grilling me. I have nothing to hide yet nothing to tell. This is a confessional poem but what are my sins? I don't tell those to just anyone who asks. I am not on my knees in a reverential box. There is no screen with a priest on the other side. I am not being forgiven. This is a confessional poem. But why? Because I use the word I? All this is is my pen, my paper, me, and you. And I ain't tellin' you nothin'.
