Pen drips,
Ink smudges,
A second skin.
Scribble-scrabble,
Scurried scratches,
A first language.
Ringing tones,
Singing syllables,
A soul.
But shaking hands,
Chatting chit-chat,
Alien, foreign.
Anecdotes given freely,
Spoken words,
Unspeakable.
Isolation
For notebooks filled,
Understandable.
But trading words
For trading stories?
Questionable.
Is a word worth
The worth of a friend’s
Words?
