you take a chance
and you say man
here my digits,
now shared,
here is my Rx,
call me as needed
weeks months later
a phone rings
at 2:30am
and one poet says it's me,
I am the living soul
of words you have appreciated
and the other says,
I'm glad you called brother,
how did you know I'd be awake?
and he laughs and says
I read your stuff,
you write best tween
midnite and dawn,
so the probabilities were favorable
that I would find you awake and capable
and you walk and talk and roam
roads and oaths that black and write
screen letters
can't full convey,
till one says **** man look at the time
and both laugh,
knowing a poem
had just been writ in
true voices
shared
and that kids,
is the chance some make,
when first your words you take
and the poetry you proffer
is product of genuine flesh,
beyond mere in vitro digitally fertilized
