Golden Words

 
(I learnt sign language)
At least I didn’t have the problem
Of trying to say something
I rest my hands on the table
She raises an eyebrow
More accustomed and educated with this language
(but…)
And she gave a pause
Just like spoken word
She continued
(why? That’s a whole language. And-)
I cut in
Clasping my hands over the rapid movement of her speech
And resting them on the table
(because you sound interesting)
