This

why
              like this?
                                 why do i write
                                                           in stairsteps


these words are to be read aloud
                                                         with pauses in the right places, and
                                                                       shifting the voice, inflecting just so
            it's like spoken word
                                  (without the spoken part)
                                             in black and white on the page in front of me
and if you ask me to read it
maybe
           i will
                                                         and you can hear the meaning that is diminished by the medium
                                                 of text without sound
