Lost in Moonspeak

By lupus tenebrae

 



Frustrations, like moonspeak,
are lost in translation
when an atlas
turns Venn diagram.

An intelligible sort
of phonograph
or metronome
monotony.

One appears misguided
when confronted with forks,
silverware turned nowhere
in an instance of roulette.

Every now and then
we rest by the sea
and every sign’s in Engrish,
so what’s to understand?

Can we convey oblivion
or simply fleeting dreams
to those of less observant minds?
Or are we always misconstrued?

    I agree with Natalie, interesting. I like how you turn the mundane it something akin to magic. As always you write well
