teach me that you can be yours
and he and she
can be them and theirs
because language is bendable
there’s more stretch to it than me
It’s fresh and super diverse
Quirky like you can be
as language may be right,
even if it’s sometimes wrong
experiment with me
as much as you like
as long as those words sound
like traffic being paralyzed
roaring in silence
and hiding deeper
like walking somewhere
on the Arctic Circle or in a forest
far away and yet familiar
but excuse me
if I don’t learn it as well
for language without more
is no more
