AP English, Future Contemplation, and the Inability to Speak
Location
When you leave and I’m alone and it’s warm and this smile is permanent
Because you didn’t leave and I’m not alone
And I try to crowd my mind with websites and Jane Austen and clever thoughts about modern literature
Because even if I bake, it will be with a book in one hand and a whisk in the other
And I start to believe that poetry is an acceptable art form and that am able
My Pablo and Federico would disagree with the statement on my ability, Chile and Spain
Because it is never the words that leave me at your sight, it is the thought to speak, actually speak
I may entertain the idea, but after all this time, I still could not do you justice, so I stay quiet
Because there isn’t any use when I could relay the experience here, structured and eventually Irish
Why use one word when seven would do?
