A Voice in the Crowd

By Chad Hollis

A nod to the Twitterverse writers and poets.

A thousand voices
in this midnight air
I come here every night
pull up a chair


A glass of wine
so many strangers
I see enough to know
their names and faces


I read their stories
juicy bits and deliciously
decadent words
I’m moved daily
and know one knows


so much to choose from
I play favorites
shamelessly
enjoying the splendor
of poetry unbridled


though I don’t fit in here
this cosmic-web-world
among the bright minds
and shining stars


I spill my drudgery anyway
here and there
in dark corners
on the odd chance
someone might get lost
and want something
to read in the dark
