VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Alienated

The walls are vibrating with voices
of people I don’t know, people
who consume wine like a sacrament.
My ceiling bears in on me
like some edacious sponge, mindless
and wanting to wrap around my body.
I thought I’d discarded all of them,
but I see you grinning back
from the surface of my desk.

Amanda talked freely as if we’d shared
reunions, confiding everything.
I got up feeling as if I’d eaten
too much fruit. I wanted to ask
if we could converse again, if I could
collapse over coffee while she nodded
her approval. I need this sort
of friend, someone content with one
shot.
