listen (Free verse) by elderking
unacknowledged my words hover, ever hopeful, until shamed at last by your silence they scatter crowding somber shadows in anxious disarray.

Up the ladder: fireflies die too
Down the ladder: Mad

I figured if I was wordy enough, he might "hear" what I was saying. I figured out after awhile he was pretty much "deaf".
Thanks for the comment.

The last line's good; the first 8 don't make words do anything they haven't done for six hundred years at least.
