I write poetry
I read poetry
a l o n e
I do not attend
poetry readings
a m i d s t
a crowd
simply because
I do not relate
to recitings.
I cannot hear
the words properly
unless read by
a well-modulated
actor male or female.
Therefore, today
I left a place
in which I should
have been - but
as I get older
and more rebellious
I do less shoulds.
This is the irony.
