Except for me

I was addressed today
in the secret silent language
that everyone knows;
 
except for me.
 
It was assumed I’d know exactly
what did not need words to say.
 
Of course, I played along
not wishing to be seen
not fluent in this unspoken tongue
that everyone knows;
 
except for me.
 
The message it was clear,
with intention quite concise.
It’s meaning understood entirely
by everyone and all about;
 
except for me.

(2013)
