valedictory

I am wondering how to
Reach you
I am wondering how I
Poet
For want of a better
More meaningful
Word
May hold your attention

And then I wonder
Why
I should do so
And how to make
Myself
Deserving of it
And what I will
Do
When I have it

I can entertain
I can spin tales
Love, hate
Life

But how do I make
This
Mean anything more than
Time
Spent politely
Listening

To me
