learning several languages
gains you your freedom -at least within-
when you're condemned
in the words of the other language
when culture changes
and sincerity betrays,
truth beyond reach
no matter how astute your observation
ready made phrases have no feeling in them,
so how do people stay human
continue to pretend as the reasonable animal
when your language punishes not you
but your kind
and the a malicious smile
wins the game
