Farther
he knew that his father and family
listened to him haphazardlylazily ears lax
scarce attention he tried very hard to diminish his feelings
that there was nothing worse than trying to say somethingtrelate something as heads
nodded but his words unheard
so he played games to
amuse himself understanding that they
werent listening
Farther
they did hearhowever each other
which was an affirmationacknowledgement
of a frequency he didnt share with them or could seem to speak
admittedly it wasnt improbable
if one doesnt know Morse Code
the dots and dashes meant shit to them
theres a difference between ears
queued to monosyllables less work was
demanded and the monosyllabic Dah dah dahdah like dots and dashes served their Cretan attention and necessity
he speared them with multisyllables
he wasnt going to diminish his
vocabulary because he shouldnt
simply put they didnt speak the same language
their neurons didnt fire
alike
why he was thick to
thatcouldnt seem to relate continued to
be beyond him
it was afterall the same fuckin language
their faces pinched eyes squinted
No?
No.
he said Farther
they heard Father
it wasnt fun
it upset him
it was upsetting to have to
accept things he wasnt able to change
but he wasnt stupid
