Translator
Are you confused when I speak(?)
I not make sense,
I stutter or stammer or mix up my vowels sounding words?
So jumbled, so jagged that you nod and show teeth in agreement
signing the social contract.
Something on my face?
I washed this morning.
I awkward, lisping my way through our pleasantries?
Need a translator? I speak a foreign language?
It’s normal in my mind,
The words I speak
the order I release them,
I not getting the reaction I want,
not as charming or funny.
Too much weight placed upon a small interaction?
All I know is you
look confused when I speak.
