poets send messages
to other people
abusing the talent of their ode
they fling words
carelessly
hoping to hit a target
that's already writhing
in pain
idealizing
from afar
shaking a finger
over and over
hoping to teach
a lesson to
a person who's
in a vastly different
school
writing a truth
that someone can't begin
to accept
much less understand
much less hope
much less sun
(done)
Some of us hear you, some of us understand.
