March 30, 1983 6:45 p.m. Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


"What Are Words But a Hindrance to Communication (Essay Three)"

 

We can't relate
So leave our opinions to fate
And always tend to fail
Whe we attempt to tell the tale

I could tell you better what I mean
If I knew what I wanted to say
Brighten my language to a sheen
Bring down the curtain, end the play

I'll say hello
And you can scream with meaning.

1983
