i am not alone, alone

i am
not alone,
alone, there
are some
like me
out there,
they wait,
they watch,
they hope,
 
each arrive
in the
afternoon,
and before
the light
is slanting,
my mouth
like doors
open,
 
let me
read you
something,
they let
me speak,
they accept
me with
the softest
care,
my words
float
over them,
 
and they
act as
trying
to capture
butterflies
while
clapping.
