To Speak

How we long to speak and yet we’re dumb Fearing we shall sound like ignorant fools Waiting for our first communion When will we feel safe, not quiet nor numb? Alexithmyic,affectless,how cruel How we long to speak, why are we dumb? How we odd ones value every crumb How we want to learn , to use our tools Waiting for our first communion By the weight of politics undone This was never taught in any school How we long to speak, why are we dumb? Economic miracle,. God’s come! No log like this was ever made for Yule Nor for our own first communion Stay away from Logic and George Boole Poetic life needs metaphors not rules How we long to speak, why are we dumb Struggling for the lost communion
