drop me like a bomb
i wanted to say
but couldn't
never can say
anything i wanna say
when i wanna say it
for fear of the
discomfort involved
in my inability to vocalize
the stuttering and mispronounciation
involved

i'm back
in speech class trying to pronounce
my f's so someday i can say
**** *** and when that day came
i said

all the **** and *******
given to me by you
multiplied by that which
was given to me
by those before you

i'm back
in math class
trying to graph a slope
so someday i can lay
****** and when that day came

i said

drop me like a bomb
i said
as you turned the door
**** me once more
i thought
as you turned away.
