Two Poets Talking

Thinker to Jace
If I'm not reciting a poem,
my tongue won't let me talk,
I can only bark.
But barking can't say much,
just woof-woof "I'm glad to see you"
or howl "Oh-woooo, I'm scaring
youuuu" and bow-wow
for everything else.
Words, though, can say anything
I want to say, in the way
I want to say it.
Jace to Thinker:
When I recite my poems,
I make music, I say the words
fast or slow, high or low,
I stop and I go, almost
like singing, making
word-music.
