Njeri Hunjeri Poet Free verse

Which Comes First

Which comes first?
The poet or the poem?
Should i love you for your words
Should i follow you for your words
Should i adore you for the picture on your profile
Or your biography that leaves me in amazement

Should i respect you for your words
Or should i wait online just to see you there
Linked by wires and connections
Somewhere on the web of things
And admirations

Were your words there before you
Do they make you
Do they make me
That maybe i only comment on yours
That maybe your comment on mine
Is like divine
Is like oxygen

Is like surviving....
Words win here
And so does the creator
Respectively the poet and the poem
Both come first
