vignette / what’s a poem?

well, it could be,–– a poem is

someone’s point of view

which sidesteps the singular,

and always lurking protagonist

or altogether omits its presence,

then placing other findings

in a column of sorts,

narrow at the beam

or wide at the beam

it doesn't matter, but also

not necessarily one width or the other.

now, when in recital, a poem is

someone’s point of view

that sidesteps the singular,

and always lurking protagonist,

or altogether omits its presence,

and so on, (or so forth)  but out loud.
