Tom Beckett
Notes Between Notes
One’s always
Been lost
To myself
Lost to
The others
Or so
I’ve found
*
Ghost of
An unfolding
Truth between
Alternative pronouns
Sitting in
Front of
A television
Or some
Other screen
*
No one
Is unobserved
No one
Fully seen
*
What is
Reality is
It this
Or this
This actuality
My vocabulary
Is limited
These pages
White noise
*
I know
You don’t
Know what
I’m thinking
But think
You do
I could
Be wrong
*
Desire’s song
Red hot
White noise
*
There may
Be rhythms
Which extend
Over lifetimes
One may
Fail to
Properly extrude
White noise
*
Things like
Music occur
In intervals
I’ve grown
Into things
*
I make
An effort
To extend
What I
Can’t say
Ho hum
*
What’s a
Proper name
Tom Beckett lives, writes and will likely die in Kent, Ohio. His ghosts precede him.
