How we long to speak,why are we dumb?

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?
