Ever notice how when you're with someone
who has an accent
you can't help
but start to unconsciously mimic their accent
If you catch yourself you try to stop
because you don't want them to think
that you're making fun of them
but you just can't help it
You creep into matching their cadence, meter, and inflection.
I know that lots of times when I see a movie
I come away wanting to talk like Matthew McConaughey
Or Sean Connery or Liam Neeson
Today, for whatever reason
Having read some poems this morning
I want to write like Billy Collins
with quatrain stanzas
