Your dilemma today? How to go quietly.
You’ve lived out loud for so long
people think of you as embedded
in a permanent echo of yourself.
The air is calling your name.
You can’t escape it. You are
honored as much as you feel
cursed and invisible — the others
don’t know who you are
other than what they’ve heard
on the wind. You know you are
at once better and worse;
more real, less solid. More
thick, less angelic. How are you possibly
going to get away from yourself
long enough to become silent and more real?

“The best part is that this isn’t just qualitative blah blah, but a rigorous quantitative story where everything can be accurately calculated.”
