Rigged Subtext

Rigged Subtext

The words
themselves
like oiled machines
lie helplessly strewn
in the cave,

though gathered
and tied
to halt the divide
it helps
the quick tongue
to behave.

Watching a woman self-tying a coconut rope around her tongue, I found myself a little speechless, although certainly not uncommunicative.
