times

at times i feel

like a drunk linguist

speaking in forgotten languages

to a mass of foreigners

to whom i was supposed

to impart

a message of

universal significance

by extraterrestrials

Thanks

Kelsey, and neat icon there. The poem is just meant as a kind of imprint of miscommunication and alienation: the existential wall which confronts us all. GB
