Ask Them This

If I pounded your face,
would you hear me then?
Of course you’d listen
if I stared you down with eyes of fire.
Would you notice that
there is fire in me,
or would you see only water
simply because you’re thirsty?

If I pound the air,
Do you hear me then?
If I burn you down,
Do you see?
I bring fire with me.

Or do you want water?
Are you thirsty?
