POET VOICE

 

I don’t do poet voice.

I don’t feel the need 

to make it official

or dictate the response.

 

The audience shouldn’t 

need me to tell them

they’re listening to poesie.

 

The dramatic is just fine

as is

without my embellishment

 

& the mundane

has every right

to remain that way.

 

If you make the words count

the affectation

is really not nessa

and only impresses

fools and posers among us.
