[ NaPo 2018 ] Communications

ith people aren't easy      
---never were for me;      
   
words don't come and go        
or flow as easily as poetry does     
       
---finesse becomes fumbe      
as spilt milk, toast  
plates tumble  
tabletop to floor    
during dinner        
conversation;  
such a mess      
       
I hope someday      
to be better at it        
       
It's what I wish for       
---being free of this fucking        
house bound banality;      
talking face to face      
and gauging expression      
   
rather than feeling mired down in      
inferiority's mucking abundance        
always underfoot whenever I      
stumble      
    
Patient soul that you are  
I believe your Love      
bringing me up to speed      
with what I desperately need      
and have lacked thus far  
compensating this entire time      
behind stanzas precision      
packed with rhyme

Communication    
         
Interacting with people isn't easy        
       
It never was      
       
At least not for me;      
words don't come and go        
or flow as easily as poetry does;      
       
finesse becomes fumble      
as spilt milk, toast plates      
tumble from tabletop to floor        
knocked over during dinner        
conversation. Such a mess      
       
I hope to someday      
be better at it        
       
It's what I wish for;      
       
being free of this fucking        
house bound banality      
talking face to face      
gauging expression      
       
not feeling mired down in      
inferiority's mucking abundance        
always underfoot whenever I      
stumble        
       
Bringing me up to speed      
with what I desperately need      
and lacked thus far, having      
compensated this entire time      
behind stanzas precision      
packed with rhyme      
       
I believe      
in the power of your Love      
and patient soul you are
