Poems

"Only I can hear it"

Thinking-thoughts.
They scream inside my ears: "That was a dumb thing to say!"
"You are such a clutz."
"You shouldn't, aughta not, don't do it!"

Reading to your self – I hear the story in my head.

"Oh Yes!"
"Beautiful job."
"I love you."
"I did it, I really did it!"

All of it - inside my head,
as loud and real as the noise in my ears when chewing celery.
