Poetry Drafts / 22 April 2016

I DON’T BUT STILL DO

I don’t speak Maths
but still I programme
miniature computers
till the night is
dawning

I don’t speak Music
but still sing in the shower
and dance the mambo
with a head full of
loudness

I don’t speak Poetry
but still I stack
word upon word to try
to convey my world
to you
