thank you, To The Point
thank you
for unnecessary commentary
in this shared theatre

I shouldn't push play
why don't I learn?
is a poet supposed to get to the point?


thank you for the unprovoked remarks
in the din I live in

Should've worn my headphones

Why don't I insulate?
is a poet supposed to self-edit?
for you?


you've been kind to give your opinion
in my shrinking domain,
a condition
where little space can be sought
to self-isolate

Where is the acceptance I yearn?
Is a soul supposed to dry its pen?

What am I living in
that walls don't echo my thoughts?

The vibrant messages could soothe
aching ears

Where am I living if
I cannot go from here
without you on my mind
vigorously absorbing all of my soul's light?


thank you for choosing me to hear you out

A chamber envelops my lungs,

heart pushed to the glass

How can I unpin and ask for my breath back?

Let a poet grip
foolishly again
his words flung to a non-dimensional wall
expanding to infinity

and all I’ll not capture


thank you.

it's about sharing music i love in shared amphitheater, and have to hear her say she doesn't like this song or that artist, or thinks the volume too loud or when will it end?

things like these attach to my heart, she severs with her blunt knives
