Question
It’s easiest to hide behind
The written word
Typed data
Ashes strewn across the pages
Through the rhythm of the keyboard
The scratch of pencil on the sheet
Thoughts come out from deep within
Don’t leave quite yet, just listen
I’d sooner state it face-to-face
But the sight of you eliminates
All the courage saved within
Standard teenage fears, you know.
I realize it may sound odd
And sudden
But hey…
What fun is linearity anyway?
To summarize, to condense
I think back to whence
These thoughts emerged
And the question I pose…
Is the same one I asked all those months ago.
