How do people expect
Someone new to this place,
To learn the language
Without putting sounds to a face.
As you get older those things take time.
To learn the rules and make things rhyme.
You get in trouble if you say it aloud
Or even think it in your head.
The “F” word has a thousand meanings
And none of them are dead.
It means something different
To each person who hears it,
A passion if there ever was one,
They see it in my walk.
The rhythm of the words flowing through me like music,
They hear it when I talk.
