Duet

I have seen the rain,
and felt its love(for all) in
me. and I, (in tendered modes)
despite a (justly rendered)
certain (element of reality)
stone (like a sea of glass)
heart, (in which I
have (now
loved
as the rain does).

A brief note - A public reading of this poem should entail two readers, in which the parenthetical statements are read by one, and the non-parenthetical are read by another. The two readers should overlap within each line, with the P beginning slightly before the end of the NP. The last four lines are to be read as "heart have loved" and "in which I have as the rain does," with the NP reader slowing down enough that "have" is in unison, and "in" and "does," read by the P reader sound simultaneously as "heart" and "loved" in the NP reader.
