In Case You’ve Ever Wondered …

I thought I’d tell you

just in case you’d like to know

just in case you’re curious

just in case you’ve wondered

why I put my responses here

in a document only I will ever see

or up on my lonely little website

where hardly anyone ever goes

instead of telling you face-to-face

why I think you might have wrong ideas

or even where you’re definitely wrong

or where I need to be corrected

it’s because I’ve tried face-to-face

over and over to exhaustion

until I felt blue in the face

for getting this one consistent reply

“I don’t care to consider what you’re saying!”

but despite that, I still have to say these things

so I say them here

in my tiny echo chamber

where you’ll likely never see

ineffective? perhaps

but at least my soul can have peace
