Yes, that is fear in my voice

I am told my words are careless
Almost

I am seismic
and detached from you all

Yes, that is fear in my voice
I didn’t think you could hear it

I am glad they seem that way
It’s true

I don’t know the distance
between any two points in space

There is too much to control
I have fault lines

What I say is natural
Though in fact distance changes always

Seismic words attempt to predict
my magnitude

It is almost unnoticeable
They detach and resettle

They are almost careless
but you hear it in my voice
