Mark Twain Poem by Evangeline Ingram

Mark Twain

Rating: 5.0


All the poets are dead,
save the ones left on tumblr,
who you can message ten times
without putting down breakfast.

The world's grown smaller,
and closer together,
and living and dead
are not so far apart.

When words echo onward
Who cares for the speaker?
Is being deceased
required to matter?

Words move to mouths
that spoke them far better,
even if those mouths
never said them at all.
