Your eyes are corridors
of comprehension. Old.
A bee revives, and truth is tolled.

communication
That word (viz. sorry)
Sorry isn’t very nice.
Sorry’s better fat than thin,
out than in,
and better once than twice.

Say less
Say less.
Mean more.
Win the match.
Lose the score.

Language
I don’t understand your language
but I do understand the tune.
Talk soon.

Shoulder
He’s a shoulder.
Should this, should that,
should her.
Cold shoulder.
That showed her.
He should should should
offer a shoulder
and murmur
‘How do you feel?’
