May I Start With You?

     Too many echoes are like no
     echo, or a single tall one.

                —John Ashbery

place your text here.
which i did. and like
a lighthouse on the
foggiest of peninsulas,
did it ever! what? oh,
hello. i was just admir
ing you from a distance.
many apologies, i can
go back if you’d like.
what’s that you say,
you’d like? oh, no,
i didn’t really mean
it. i swear i didn’t.
but where did that
leave me, folks?
same place as
always, truth
be told. folks?

folks?
