The Life and Livelyhood of a Bean: 10 Poems for Beitle (written in class)

Distracting silence fills the room
as I try to hear
the squeaky tone of Beitle's voice-
A nervous bean, she is shy at first
closed to many of my questions
orthings I disclose about myself-
shes is confused, and uses this
to hide from answering my questions,
and hide from whatever past
may be hers-
Beitle is kind
and would never intend to hurt another,
sensitive and full of wonder
she slowly opens herself-
willing to ask some questions of her own
and beginning to disclose vague details of herself-
She is trusting
seeing me as someone she will open to
willing to speak,
despite the consequences
that may befall her-
