don’t.

In my shy introversion, I listen as
he speaks my poems
—though he has never read them—
so eloquently, so passionately

I want to have one of those meaningful conversations
that are so rare
as few bother to question anything,
as most remain passive succumbers
to the vicious cycle of hereditary thought
