Always we shout to be heard | |
as though our voices could express | |
the sense of sentences deferred | |
and of lessons learned, | |
of storylines unfolding, | |
of the truths of our innocence and shame, | |
of life, the very breath that we are holding, | |
of our very names. | |
We shoot our mouths off in adventure, | |
we ram the ammunition in the breach, | |
blow up the flowering of sense | |
with the power of speech. |
