I used to love learning so many different voices Creating stories to fit languages I will never speak But now it all sounds Ugly. It doesn't fit the stories that I try so hard to fit like puzzle pieces to the voices from languages I will never speak My wide eyed wonder is converted to heavy lidded dependence on caffeine. My excited edge has now become a craving for more nicotine to take the edge of crowded culture clash in No Language I Will Ever Speak.

Stopovers in Airports
I used to love learning so many different voices Creating stories to fit languages I will never speak But now it all sounds Ugly. It doesn't fit the stories that I try so hard to fit like puzzle pieces to the voices from languages I will never speak My wide eyed wonder is converted to heavy lidded dependence on caffeine. My excited edge has now become a craving for more nicotine to take the edge of crowded culture clash in No Language I Will Ever Speak.
