taking/ticking time

it feels silly,

trying to funnel

the thoughts,feelings,ideas,intuitions

into little words.

it's a feeling

of being foreign,

and not speaking the language.

the communication

doesn't suffice.

the nuances get lost.

the hand gestures may get me

to the metro,

or the train, but not into my

own being.

the wavering lines

straighten

and the beauty

loses its wonder

as it's encoded

in order to be understood.

(the smile

becomes dopamine,

the magic

becomes probability

of compatibility

and the symphony

becomes a sum

of its mechanically

moving parts.)


the words--

just cut

and fill the air.

the melodic trinity

leaves me wondering,

and its absence

leaves my

brain in an ineffable

--buzz.
