Is It Real
April 7, 1992

I grow tired, eyes itching
looking at a paper that does not respond
look, I ask the paper
I need you to say something
anything  ��
but it just sits there, covered in words

I give the paper to others
look, this is me, and I never say
that people as well just read and think
never respond  ��
and I write on people as well
words on paper
no response
I ask  ��
do you wish I ��d change my words
would you like to touch my reason
are you really there?
do I simply write on paper
as I might speak to people
never listening
or is there fallacy in no response
hello  ��
is there anyone without?
and the doors slide closed
the eyes hinge down
faces lean away
