POETRY Reading: The Uninvited Guest, by Alex Hai

New Releases • 1m 14s

Performed by Bill Poulin

The uninvited guest, by Alex Hai


I am an immigrant

of my own premiere .

The cinema is full

of empty whispering chairs

Covid 19 is the uninvited guest

filling all movie theaters for now

I wish I could beam a few years back

so exciting

to see people taking their seats

The mumbling and cheers

in the pockets of my jacket

i would keep my empty hands

full of expectations

watching from the comfort of my sofa

Makes me feel uncomfortable
