Conversation…
Misunderstanding?
Who’s to say?
You ask me for a word…
You offer me a word…
You take my words,
And assign a label.
From the zero point before labeling
To the blackened crash point once labeled
There emerges a gulping, gulf-ing ocean… of confusion and misinterpretation.
You ask me if that is the correct word?
How can I answer…
Assign your label…
Take: permission to re-define, re-describe, re-subsume my “reality”
And analyze accordingly…
The point completely missed, lost among the arbitrary yet meaningless words.
So I will sit and watch and listen
And contemplate the depth of love.
