Oh words, please come
And answer my need.
Hold hands and dance correctly
With grace and knowledge.
Be light on your feet
Be expressive as tunes
That bounce and stretch.
Don't desert me
As you so often do.
Alas, all I have is words.
I have no tune to compose
That will tell you the mood.
I have no points that fall together
And show it all.
Just words, tiny separate words
That are stubborn, sometimes,
And hold back.
