SPEAK IN TONGUES

 

I speak in tongues

because I feel

different each day

and each time;

the mood; the tone;

 

the remembrance

of Rimbaud,
“Je Suis un autre”

 

riotously funny

one day

solemn and somber

 the next

 

I guess it can

be perturbing

trying to keep up

with the Joneses

 

or at least

with the quirky mood swings

and idiosyncrasies

still coming out

 

one day at a time

but thru eternity

it’s really the same thing
