thank you for the introduction
but i think i will take it from here
frankly, i've got nothing going for me
and i'd hate to have to rely on
your virtual handouts

it is certainly more than slightly
awkward to think
that whatever my spoken word cannot
reveal
these digital letters can

yet even then
i possess a dichotomy in personality
unparalleled in its legitimacy

i wonder
how cheery and nice i sound to you
through these words that you will never see
