Enough

A poem

--

A woman hushing an audience in a dark theater, oil painting.
Created by DALL E.

I often wish to be
Monotonous and mute —
Only speak when spoken to —
And simply a spectator;
Laugh on cue
Scoff on cue
Still despise all that you do
And watch anyway

The quiet few
Are seldom due
Any grief or assessment

If thoughts untouched are judged by none
May I request my speech undone?
