Telepathy | Kenneth P. Gurney
I hear people talking
even when there is no one around.
I think it is my inability
to let go of a conversation.
Though sometimes I like to think
that words love to hang around my ears
and regularly rearrange themselves
into marvelously colorful patterns.
For a time I believed I heard the trees
talking among themselves.
If this was the era before Christ
I would claim this phenomena
to be the voice of God
and that I was a holy man.
Since this happens now, today,
I make no claims, but get my blood checked
to determine if low vitamin B levels
might engender my hearing
of those people who are no longer
in my presence.
