What Tracey SaidTo John Bryan's previous piece     can't make fire / can't make spearsTo John Bryan's next piece


aspersions, counter-intelligence, to a foreign language
 
telephone   this
disembodied voice machine
sends my sounds
to someone who
for all intent
resembles you
except where there
are gaps in an
otherwise innocent
dispatch
at these times
i can only hope
you know i am
holding you as
if you were near
but then this
voice who claims
to be you
says to the effect
" what's wrong. you
don't sound yourself ".
