He addresses the world
from all possible angles,
every next step but
a shift of position,
directed towards
the way out of the maze.
He says I
he says we
and turns his hand with
a deliberate slowness,
his lips slighlty parted
though not moving
in an umpteenth attempt
to explain.
The world laughs, points
finfers, then bounces along,
too deafened by the sound
of machines to hear
the ventriloquist speak.
