Literature Text

no you in the real world
and no reality here

no attraction or affection,
default image or preconceived notion

only a comfort in anonymous listening
when I use you to think out loud

you are the droning,
background machine noise
I must wake up to notice
before it lulls me back to dreaming

I'll not picture you, not ever
no face, no detail, no sound

don't tell me what you call your cat,
why you paint
or where you're from

you are perfect now
a poem for a stranger
