The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Absorption

Please excuse my manners,
I didn’t mean to interrupt;
my mouth so often canters
before thought has even supped.

I really should keep silence
when you are in the zone -
no, don’t resort to violence -
I’ll leave you to your phone.
