The Wee People


there are wee people in my head.

they welter about my brain
and knock against my eye

they want freedom from their cell

it's not too bad
because they keep my memories in jam jars
and take polaroids
that only I can see

and only I see fade

or they scrawl ink-spattered notes
that I never post

so that nobody ever has to know about
the profanities that spew
or the stilfled sobs

they will never hear
the burbles of laughter
nor the snorts of derision

for the wee people speak only to me
