You know how to say all the perfect
words in perfect order spoken with the
broadest of dialects
and just when to pause and ask
"does this hurt yet?"
Our time doesn't exist
and it probably never did
But I still brunt the words out
from in between my teeth
out of my coup de grace verbatim
and watch them sink at sea
I don't know that a noun exists in this language
and I know you would not waste a second
to translate it or to write me back
or talk me down
