here, let me explain.
red
red
red,
they say.
why don't you get what we're trying to say?
why don't you try to do what we tell you?
why won't you talk to us?
why won't you listen
to reason?
honey
baby
darling
red?
because
the people that taught you to talk
are relative
to stone
walruses
because
i will not walk off a cliff
and willingly
smash against the harbor
because
you misplaced
your ears
and sewed them
onto
your brain
because
i wouldn't give you
a dog i didn't like
and you wouldn't take it,
anyway
because
what you define as reason
simply
isn't
if i could speak.
