Narrative Voice

There is no one narrating this
as you read it
except for the voice you hear
in your mind.
If you know who I am
perhaps it has taken
the timbre of how
I would speak to you.
If you do not know me
there is a good chance
you are hearing your own
voice reading this
back in a familiar cadence.
You might be mouthing
along to the words
and hope no one
can see you because
you would feel silly
if someone caught you
and asked what you are
reading. If that happened
they would see this
and the whole cycle
would once again repeat.
