heavy crop

withering before they ripen

dry summer

Sometimes

I talk to myself

just because I want to hear my opinion

sent out to the universe at large

and it makes sense to me.

Sometimes

I am composing sentences

for use when writing

and trying out how words will sound

when read by some AI voice.

Sometimes

I say the government is listening

and we both laugh

and then Alexa laughs

and the television laughs

And the next day

Amazon offers a tin sign

that says: "Sometimes

I talk to myself

then we both laugh."
