II. A COLLECTION OF OBSCURITY by Edwin M. Drogin

13. Egomet

Can I sell you a song?
The lyrics are long.
You will wait, you will listen and wonder
The song is a rumble of thunder.
The song is a bird.
You have heard?
The song is a laugh,
A line cut in half.
Restraint will be a stanza
Impulse a verse.
For things we never do
Are things that we rehearse.
