my words disappear as i type
them like some kind of magic
trick like when i was a
kid and had disappearing
ink that you could squirt and the
color would evaporate
only now it’s words on
the screen little black
marks that wink out of existence
almost as soon as i type
them and what happens
when my voice fades away
as soon as i speak
but then that
already
Words and Feathers
