Loud

L O U D

that’s  M E

loneliness flickers on the tv screen

I may be  L O U D

but I sniffle mostly on my own sleeve

M A N N E R S   taught me

to wait for what crumbs fall

so I treat myself to

I S O L A T I O N

until I see  R E D

then I explode

most unpleasantly

my sleeve shakes all over the place

and loudly I  B A W L

unhappily
