Poetry Friday: We never know we go by Emily Dickinson

[slayground]

We never know we go, - when we are going
We jest and shut the door;
Fate following behind us bolts it,
And we accost no more.

- Emily Dickinson

Emily's thought-filled noticing of human nature shows how much she watched instead of spoke, I think. Few words, always make me consider what they say to me. Thanks!

Observant, indeed.
