Words, wordsuseless words,words that spoil and turn into curds.What are you doing?You're using those thingslike diamonds and jewels and ruby red rings.They're lifefull, you know ,and have meanings galore.Why do you use them like a rummy red whore?I cannot listen to your words anymore,(those beautiful, precious,symbolic things)become evil and demons when from you they sting.To take them and twist them and use them for painto lie with and cheat with and deny all my gain.Your words,your words,Your useless words,don't talk,don't talkdon't make all words lie-Leave me a word I can take with to die.
