“Hello everyone, how you doing tonigh?
\nI have something interesting planned…
\nMy poem for you is unique, and here’s why:
\n…I’m not sure just when it began…<\/p>\n

I came into this place a short while ago,
\nand was struck by a strange de ja vu…
\nAnd I feel it. Right now, as my words fill this space,
\nAnd I gaze out and see all of you…<\/p>\n

This really is strange, but I think I know why,
\nThis poem is set, well… right now.
\nThis poem consists of this poem itself,
\nAnd myself as I read it aloud.<\/p>\n

And all of yourselves as these words cross your mind,
\nwhich invite you to subtly feel…
\nThat this<\/em> is the moment this poem belongs.
\nThe moment this poem was real.<\/p>\n

As soon as I’m done, these words will return,
\nTo just ink on a page of this book.
\nThey’ll wait there like stones for as long as it takes,
\nFor some reader to give them a look.<\/p>\n

And when that reader reads, they’ll project themselves here<\/em>,
\nAs far as their imagination allows.
\nThey’ll have their own image, but they’ll never know,
\nHow we all feel being here now.<\/p>\n

I’m still not so sure when this poem began,
\nOr if it will ever be through…
\nBut I’ve come to a place where I’m moved to extend,
\nA humble and heartfelt
\nThank You.”<\/p>\n
