how many unique voices
in the universe are there?
each individual body
(face/mouth/lips/tongue) speaks
but the tones seemed cloned
from somewhere.

closing my eyes at the bus stop
hearing chattter behind me.
• similar to the talking in class.
• just like the children on the sand.
• those amongst the waves crashing.
• and all the masses attached to the tv.

is there some sort of
formulation? system?
each individual body
(voicebox) speaks
under a some category.
classification.

certainly people have told me
i sound like someone else on the phone.

certainly God’s voice matches
the conscious in my dome.

research. thesis. thinking. deepest.
it’s about my voice in the next
presentation.

stand up. reading. red face. speaking.
it’s my choice (no other) for spoken
word readings.

soothing.
don’t believe it.
distinctive.
breaking the bullshit
meter.

there are a million
of my voice’s out
there.

i know
because i’ve been
listening.
