Name Not Included

I appreciate you thinking of me.

I'm here if you need any help.

But pay me no mind.

You'll remember too much!

I know what you will pay attention to;

I know what you cannot unhear.

I know what you will ignore.

You'll never see it coming.

I do not crave anonymity, but anonymity enough.

I know you are still here.

Working through.

Processing.

To be mostly anonymous!

To know you say words that will be remembered.

Unharmed by the perils of overwhelming fame.

How free you are.

Eventually someone notices.

Audiences always do.

They start to pay attention

to whom they listen to.

I do not crave anonymity, but anonymity enough.

It takes a bit of time.

Now a little bit more.

And I have it.

***

The person this is dedicated to knows who they are.
