Sotto Voce (Seen and Heard)

[Verse 1]
Is this loud enough for you?
I am not a freight train, barreling through
Private, but to be both seen and heard

[Verse 2]
Here I come: breakfast fish
O, be careful for what you wish!
I am canned sardine, spoon-flattened on
Weak, white loaves of bread

[Verse 3]
When you see yourself in every space
I wonder where I fit into place
Throw me into Relief

[Verse 4]
They will portray me
How can I portray me?
