A New Voice

How To Find A New Voice

With modulation and inflection I speak
invariably. I disclose my soul in
reports and records, a regular chatterbox,
that voice, it shares with the world
unabashedly. But when enough is enough?
And how is abundant sufficient?
How do I disclose  what I wish to state
in a different manner? See here my
prevailing challenge. Oh, I am Narcissus,
I don't object to conversing about myself,
but how to do that less conspicuous?
I am not a historian, yet I like to speak
about actual, factual historical characters
I am not an advocate, yet I want to
be one in the future, for abuse, injury.
I am not a dancer anymore, yet I want
to share the art of ballet with you,
orchestrated choreographies.
I cannot play the violin anymore, yet
I fiddle to you my love for music.
There is my list, here is my agenda,
now grant me a new tone, allow me
to declare information to you all in
a different manner.  Less obvious,
more abstract. How to find a new voice?
