SPEAKING PAST YOU

 

SPEAKING PAST YOU

Speaking past you

People assume you’ll wait

What else do you have to do

Speaking past you

There you are just with you

Trying to understand

Your own language in your own land

Are you someone else

Or are you invisible now

Or were you then

Back when you kept wondering when

Will people stop speaking past me

Speaking past me
