(no subject)
from a while ago
---------------------------
I wish I had that particular skill
the wherewithal to withold a
tilt, a twitch
the curl of a lip
a frown- no, a scowl
to look in a direction
the left? perhaps. just drifting off center
bite my lip and raise an eyebrow
(only the right one)
and unintenionally confess
what sits
lumps and turns and burns
in the back of my throat
who needs telepathy when you have
a blink and the smallest sigh
the conception of a concept
a poem, a novel
in the half second of an expression
although I sometimes wonder
in a crowd
if to read each mind would be like
skimming the songs on a violently mixed cd
or it is just me who thinks in melodies
forever stuck on repeat?
