writing for strangers

i know what you're reading but
what are you reading?

are you reading the words that
are written or are you
reading the words i have written?
have you your faith in my spaces
and dashes and whether or not
my i's are oversized
and without dots?
do you weep and bleed or perhaps
feel the corners of your lips tug
upwards when a chapter closes
like i?

i know what you're reading but
what are you reading?
