read me
please
read me
as you write me
i need to see
what appearance
will transpire
right now
i’m completely
clueless
what i am
all i know
— i’m a thought
in your cortex
who lingers
inside the pure
charcoal pitch
please
select a nice word
to describe my essence
do not reject me – i yearn
to know the verity
behind the now
the conceptualized present
passes in forty-eight seconds
do you know the number
of motion pictures
that could render
a lifetime in a number
of seconds
please i beg
i await a moment
to an auditory experience
i’d not anticipated
a fashioned
condensed
&
quipped
no
Inspired By Anna Mazzotta, he didn\’t understand NO — so she Drew him a picture
