i seldom speak

i seldom speak
i speak in written words
very few words, I know of
random strewn few words
so, i seldom speak

i speak to chat windows
through my fingertips
to windows i think i know
but i don't, i know

they make me feel
safe for a while
sane for a while
i exist for a while
in my mind, i hear words
for a while
i speak to chat windows

but these windows are few
one or two... yes very few
so i speak
lesser than i thought i would
than i thought i could

i could count on fingertips,
of times that i speak
scattered saturdays,
same coffeeshop
long distance calls,
unwelcome calls

yes i seldom speak
yet at times
i don't wish to speak

a few more years
you might forget how i sound...
