Communication

[This is a performance poem. Instructions are in brackets and are not meant to be read. Flow depends on whether or not the audience responds to the questions.]
I want -- to speak to you
Today. Right now.
I want -- to speak to you
About some-things on my mind
I want -- to speak to you

[1] Are you listening?
[no: go to 2 | yes: go to 5]

[2] Silent silence from the audience of life Are you out there?
[no: go to 3 | yes: go to 1]

[3] Maybe they don't realize I'm talking to them; to you
Let me try again
Can you hear me?
[no: go to 4 | yes: go to 1]

[4] No, It seems I'm alone With no one to talk to
[Stop! This is the end]

[5] That's all I asked That's all I need [Stop! This is the end]
