I’m making sure all
is still alive. Checking
the pulse of the homepage.
Routinely observing to see
if the rise and fall of ideas
is still in sway.
I make the most of this room,
circle the table, tell my little
jokes, and hope
that what I’m saying reaches
out like a tree limb tapping
or even the imperceptible
but still present feeling
tap of a tiny insect.
