Please enjoy“reticence”,

a poem by Æ et al.

i know i just disengaged in the throes of conversation but it's for your own good you see,

there's two dragons inside me.

one loves to fight the other hates you, i don't know why, you've never met her, an acid-spitting viper, so if it seems like i'm ignoring you, instead i’m keeping these monsters from snapping off your head so please stop poking them

with a stick,

stop trying to trick me back into the argument these two might be happy to burn through your patience

but i must live with the consequence

This was “reticence” by Æ et al.,

read for you by Sierra,

the Small Blue One.

Thank you for listening

to The Voice of Dog.
