Note is made of ink, paper and painted metal, and stands four inches high and three inches wide. Those curious about the crumpled piece of paper can open it and read it.
when you address me
like I am the worst of those
who look like me
you speak from the worst
of what lurks in you
but we are not three in this instance
for there is another in me too
who is as numb as yours is angry
uniting the four of us
in a condition we agree
is one of exhaustion and hurt
so when I respond to your address
with silence please know that
it is not a loss of words
nor an inconsideration of yours
but my inability to articulate them
beyond the opening of this note
