Colleagues

He pumped me
for informationI did not have
?As we walked
in the rain
under one umbrella

I wanted to tell him
What I didn’t know
Details
To confirm his suspicions
Facts
To set his mind at ease.

I wanted
To tell him
More than I knew
Who said what
And why

I wanted
To seem important
Knowledgeable
Informed
In

But I didn’t know
So shook my head
And told him so.
