literal irony
How cruel that I stammer over words
when written by someone else… that
my mind cannot accept a logical progression
of ideas and emotions.
But that I write my own… then, ah then
I can dance with the language… I can
play with it like a father tossing a ball
lovingly to his son… a mother teaching
a daughter the beauties of a changing
form… a moment of grace before my eyes.
Still, perhaps my words only mean something
to me, for I understand my fractured
sentences… my thought patterns… my
lack of purpose…
but to live and breathe in the now like a child
writing his first word in crayon.
