I telepath I

I telepath I
Between bars
Like so many stools in a row
With room to breath
Without comma

I, telepath, I
Sliding off to the side
Like a poorly made ship
On a fault line
Teetering between tectonic plates
Somewhere so pacific, so cold
Down there

I am the telepath I am
Linked like elephants forging on and foraging
Repeating in bumps and hillsides
Hides and slightly bristled
Slow moving
Far away

I - telepath - I
Worse than a cramped jail cell
Attached to a fence
Like so many electrical poles
All tightly wound
Attracting static
Buzzing, humming, just hanging there
Not at all stoic like a bridge
Stretched out
Used
Barely hanging on

Reading from afar
Knowing these things intuitively
Looking out for best interests
Painting the picture
