I dip in and out of books
Like a toy bird dunking
Its felt beak into a glass of water
>
Watch YouTube videos from venues
Where I would feel inadequate, unwelcome
As the poet reads to the unseen audience
>
Compare their work with my own
Can’t quite leap the hurdles in my mind
Hoping osmosis will take effect
>
Or at least greater confidence
In what I’ve learned
In what may eventually emerge
