Life in Person by Laurie Molloy

"Life in Person" 

Everybody
is a phone camera photographer
sending pictures into space
all day and night

everybody sees
more and more
into each other's lives
every day

without talking
touching
smelling
listening in person

I can write
and you may read
but you won't know
my voice or intonation
the way my breath makes the page waver
how my eyes wander
and I talk really fast
while I read this
