There’s a brotherhood,
and sisterhood amongst us.  

We can talk about it.  
No one else can.  

We say odd stuff
no one catches.

We don’t need
secret handshakes.

We never wink
or roll our eyes.  

Bobby

You didn't wink or roll your eyes in my neighborhood either. I totally understand this... though you don't think about it much unless someone brings it up.

I don't belong to the same brotherhood/sisterhood that you do, Bobby.  But, I do belong to one.  

And, yes, we also recognize each other, listen to each other and stand up for each other.

Wonderful poem.

Thanks for the kind words on this poem.

I'm pleased that you belong to a sisterhood/brotherhood like that.  They are very valuable.

Poddarku,

I understand that from my trips working in India, and it's very good.

We also have secret languages here in the U. S.

Thanks for the kind words, and for relating to the poem.
