A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


when the audio is experiencing technical difficulties


tried to articulate,
but you know us old poets

good at the page,
but tongue-tied and at rage
when the verbalization stagnates
they eyes meet in a stutter

and words seem like foreign objects
flying around as unidentified
mute aliens...

tried to articulate,
but just got a day older
more silent
and less aware of who i used to be
when the words were friendly variables

of an equation i could easily solve.
