I stare at foreign words.
My handwriting -- I did not write them.
Not conciously was I there.

I absorb the hatred spewed in ink,
Wavering, strength refusing me.
Cyanide lines I don't remember.

I hold my tongue to others.
I turn the pen on myself.

Isn&#039;t it funny how it only takes a few seconds to say hi, but forever to say goodbye?
