    The Point, For Now

    Where is my voice
    If this is poetic?
    Where is my voice
    Behind dashes and edits?
    Where is my voice
    If there’s only this page?
    Where is my voice
    If I exist only staged?

    It is nowhere.
    I have made myself fictions alone.
    I am distinct from memory and matter.
    I am only the chiming of words at all times.

    This works thinly for me
    Just fine.

    And of course, I get to be anything
    You want
    On paper.

    The line breaks and hanging line indents may be incorrectly formatted because I cannot be bothered to fiddle with the HTML. View the correct formatting in the full collection Juveni… Doesn’t Matter (The Grey-Salmon Book) (and subscribe at the top of the page).
