WE ARE INVISIBLE

like those sounds that dogs can hear but we cannot
like microscopic particles/viruses/electrons
we are beyond the visible spectrum
we can sit next to someone with white earphones
and they cannot hear us at all
we can perform poetry and encourage others
and every word forgotten
we can open mikes and hearts(but not wallets
we are invisible! The great gift is to enjoy this-
as fountains do-adding ozone of happiness mist unconditionally
as nuclear sun does-beaming anonymously in disintegration
as stars do-sending light over huge distances
as moon reflects upon us.How lucky we are!
If anyone finds themselves listening attentively
asking questions,or altering their ancestral patterns
they will find it hard to explain the existence of poets-
as co-workers,friends,lovers,or family members
They may wonder exactly why this irrational exuberance
Smile! Say nothing.This poem explains all-
how it is and why we wish to be invisible..
