i would say
what i
want to say
but no one
would hear it
the way
that i said it
even for science
or for art;
i would drink
what fresh coffee
in pink cool dawn
though it comes
out too hot
and could burn
blistering
my inside mouth
like wine
in time
that is not
what you said
when
you said it
that i heard
or so
you thought
