the empty chair

when you get
three or four songs
droning on

it becomes an
endless calliope
set free

and when the sun
warms your shoulder
words become bolder
in an instant

and the hot keys
of the keyboard
don't go anywhere
special

but ramble on
in a cluster
of rhymes
that fluster you
with their
awkwardness

the empty chair 
waits for you

even if i don't know
enough about the you
i recognize as my own

and less about the self
that trails behind

(mind)
