Analysis of Your Voice Explodes



Listen your way out of the problem,
  when language goes awry

Each word that’s heard, a fuse unlit,
  whose primer never lies

To think the pieces wholly,
  as new structure comes in view

With time and space in servitude
  —your voice explodes anew

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)
