Notes About The Poem

A humorous look at poetry exposure

The Reading

I've got a reading!
And the venue's all sold out.
It's an old phone booth
that some company threw out.

Standing room only
you can get in by arrangement
I'll just hop out
for the term of your engagement.

If you show up 
you won't even need a mask
'cause you'll be standing 
on the far side of the glass.

My voice sounds muffled 
in the sound-proof enclosure
so my poetry won't really 
be getting much exposure.

For my fan base 
it's the ideal place to show.
See, I can do the reading 
and no one else will know.
