Not sure when your holier than thou
became the enemy of my middle of the road
intent on permanently silencing
its validity with careful scrutiny
and micromanagement of my mouthpiece
Not even sure why I second guess
myself on those rare occasions that
I do speak unscripted and resigned
to my nonessential waste of home space
All I can say for sure is that I’m too
choked on the spoken word to
tell you how afraid I am
you’ll eventually start looking
for someone else not to talk to
