I Never Stop

I never stop to ask to whom I am speaking,
because I am so absorbed in trying just 
to hear myself in the midst  of dense jungle 
which is myself, which flourishes beyond 
the leading edge of exploration and holds
an unknown number of surprises, exotic
flora and fauna , diseases, drugs, dances 

If I can hear one clear word then I try
to speak it, because it is as much miracle
as the most glorious beautiful impossible
jungle bird that you have to travel weeks
into a hostile interior just to catch in
a quick glimpse that may change your life
forever, whether for better or for worse

I’m lost in listening for myself in myself
I’m found in listening for myself in myself
but if I might resemble anyone else, which
I do not know and doubt I could establish, 
I may be listening in not just for myself, not
just into myself, but investigating everyone
although I do not ever ask who we may be
