This is my reading of my Sonnet II, written in 1994, now that I have the technological means to easily create a reading video I like. A voice effect (voiceover) is used because it gets me a more consistent sound quality than I can with my lapel microphone.
Harbourwalk Poem W026
Don’t need to be in
Love in life when you can be –
In love in your dreams –
Virtual reality
Dreams you can’t tell from real life

More beautiful –

A star in your night sky –
But I wanted to be –
Your whole, glorious sky –
For day as well as night –
And not just for the night

Can we just be friends?
I’ve lived without love so far –
I don’t need it now –
How I foresaw my response
To love offers in old age
