A Small but Avid Readership
I dream of you. I dream of this.
I wake up reassuring myself
That in waking life you won’t
Exist, and I won’t have to explain
This—That I want you to exist,
That I pretend every day you do,
But never want to encounter
You, my small but avid reader,
Until I’ve finished composing
Myself, every last poem I can do.
You can read me. Believe me,
I want you to. After I’m through.
