I am, Sir, Silence Dogood

An Acrostic Poem

By Ava MackPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Sixteen-year-old Ben Franklin becomes a woman

in print & name. Mrs. Silence Dogood,

lonely middle-aged widower, has

eyes, a mind, and much to say.

Now seventy, Franklin neé Dogood at the '76

Congress bifocaled watches wigged and hosed men thunder at

each other, imagining what Silence would say.
