myself with those
to whom I can
provide great value
without exerting
a great deal of effort
myself

Everyone around stares
at plastic-silicon
while we gaze now instead –
we pour ourselves – into the timelessness
of sunlight on our foreheads
and upon each open palm
and parted lip

in tongues – babbles on.

The songs we sing tonight will be pressed
onto small and platinum platters
the last of which will perish
many years from now
without so much
as a whisper
