then, you just practice

you think
you want
to talk to
people.

you talk to
people.

you prefer
silence.

you are
silent.

you wish
to talk to
people.

you talk to
people.

you feel
more heard
in the silence.

you are
silent.

you want
to know
what is inside
other
people.

you spend
your time
inside
yourself.

you feel
yourself
isolated,
alone.

you try
to talk to
people.

you wish
you’d said
less.

you wish
to be
heard,
so
you say
nothing.

you want
to hear,
so
you say
nothing.

suffering
won’t help
you.

enjoyment
won’t help
you,
either.

i can’t
transform
this world.

this world
still
transforms
me.

people
eat dirt.

dirt eats
people.
