Confession

The most introverted girl in the world,
Anorexic, not socialized enough to even aspire to shyness,
A thin, frightened teen with a thin, frightened voice,
Timidly knocked at our door.
In fear she confessed to my roommate
That she was trying to study next door,
And that the music was just a bit too loud,
And could we turn it down? she timorously asked.
My roommate turned down the knob and said
Yeah, sure.
After the mousy girl left and the door was shut
My roommate turned up the knob, louder than before.

I said nothing.
