Brackets

Am the man in brackets
Ignorant witness
Blindfolded guest
Numb
Numb
This
Is so uncertain
All the noise and racket
Eyeless sockets
Eyelid rockets
Pockets full of
Crumbs
Pockets full of Crumbs
Dumb
Dumbfounded gallery
Of stand-in by-standers
Won’t know where the land is
Amidst all this sea
See
All the dots that linger
Under my fingers
When I punctuate
Exclamate
Saying nothing.
Saying nothing…
Am the man in brackets
Scared on-looker
Wordless bookend
Of a
Spotted —
Dotted —
Void.
