Empty Notebook

Message in a bottle
broken over my head
so I can hear it
The words splash between my ears
Gushing in jets
Verbs sloshing against verbs
Prepositions squirting into bursting noun splatters

Paparazzi camera flashes
Every electron is watching
Step carefully between each drizzle
As I look to across to a darkened window
Empty inside
Just like the tabloids
