you yourselves are a letter

it saddens me

that poetry is thought only for

the conservative woman over forty

the school teacher

the twenty-something year old male

wearing glasses

sitting over there,

searching for meaning.

 

i think he might listen to radiohead

and maybe knows about bitcoin,

or fixed gear bicycles.

 

is not every utterance

that comes from the lips of a conscious being

worthy of documentation?

 

i think you too might have

beautiful things to say

 

if only you looked past words

to write them down.
