Words will flood like torrents raging,
Deep immersed in waters wild;
Languishing in languages
Of liquid pools of prose,
Each time a laughing mannequin
Would somehow dare suppose.
They walk along with voice on leash,
Leading the park with cannibalistic eyes,
Bending over benches waiting,
For the next remark.
Together sharing repartee
For all they may experience
Between their cups of tea.
And when the tea is gone
And day is done
They read each other's tea leaves
Just for fun.
And words will flood like torrents raging
Deep immersed in waters wild,
Bragging their experience;
Their late night, early morning laughter
Left uncaging.
They will stop with you,
Exchanging dreams,
Amidst the clattering of the glasses;
Voice unpacked, and weakly fumbling,
For their answers;
Never knowing that the question
May go yet unasked,
And they be left at shallows end,
Naked and unmasked.
And words will flood like torrents raging
Deep immersed in waters wild.
