The Audience

I cry out
into my
new room.

Nobody
answers.
But I mean

it’s just me
here, so why
would they?

I was just
reading a
creepy-

crawly
extension
of my vocabulary;

a few lines that
make up what
most might call

a poem. What?
Do I think I’m
a poet? I have

written some
thing and I
look it over.

Then I
wonder,
could this

be my voice?
Confused, or
maybe con

founded, I
read the
thing

aloud.
Invisible,
I flood the

airwaves
with my
words,

both
written
and spoken.

This is my
reaction to 
what I do.
