AS QUIET AS A MARKETPLACE

If my truth is your truth,
You have plodded streets
of dilemma; the screen
that splits silent sizzling spleen
and a world where words win

Did you ever feel like an overloaded lorry?
Were you ever moved to tell your story?
If your truth is my truth,
then you masked the climax behind lines of poetry

You have become like my clogged kitchen pipe;
dry and unsatisfied on one end
flooded and disturbed on the other;
no more counting how often
eager songs freeze into silence
But for how long will my truth;
your truth be constrained-- restrained words;
controlled anger,
muted songs,
unexplored love
locked up behind bars of fear
If my truth is yours too,
We can tell it together
We will learn to be unstoppable
Till then...
