Language Barrier


I have not come to say

He says, she says, hearsay

Or listen if you will

Which you should, I must say,

But if it must be said,

Then I will listen.

You say the word is true and good

The good word a bon mot

Bon mot, mot juste

bon mot a good word

for good word

a mot juste—

You get what I’m saying.

Dismember the distinct,

Vivisect the vivid

(or vice-versa),

And you and I have nothing to say.

I’d love to stay and chat, but I only speak crop circle.
