Can you see me from
Behind the glass? I’ve been here
The whole time, waiting
.
For someone to notice
.
Just because you don’t
Hear much doesn’t mean I’m not
Speaking. Glass muffles
.
You see
.
Don’t think of me as
Trapped. Think of me as patient
(I always have been)
.
I made it
.
Here to offer this
Message to you–you are blessed
To be, yourself. So
.
Be it

A Grubby Little Pastime
When the then chancellor Gordon Brown raised the price of ten cigarettes to £1.30 in his 1998 budget statement, young Joseph drew a line in the sand and said no more. Being an old hand at quitting, I expected this latest attempt to fail like all the others, as cravings would pick at my resolve like vultures pick at carrion until I caved in and grabbed the Zippo.

Wait, were we doing Barbie this whole time. Never been a big fan. Preferred books. But now I get it. Well done. Double meaning.
From the Barbie movie to Barbie haiku, great messages all around.
Just because you don't hear doesn't mean I'm not speaking. I loved that line so much!
