Love doesn't take skill, or thought, or ability. The mute can love. The blind. But my fingers are my voice, as your body is my Braille...

A+ A- |
This most inconsequential and trivial of things:
Love? Or attraction.
It is base.
It is stupid.
I do not count myself among these fools-
It doesn't take skill,
Or thought, or ability:
The mute can love. The blind.
But my fingers are my voice
As your body is my Braille-
I can speak. I speak your name.
I can see. I see your face.
Even in the silent dark,
We can sing our song-
We can paint a portrait of ourselves.
We are stiff, intelligent.
Not given to frivolous ramblings.
Aren't we?
Not given to frivolous attractions.
Are we?
Am I who I am when I see you?
Are you who I see when I see you?
Everything, a question in itself
There is no assuredness, no safety
Here. This is...
No
Man's
Land.
So what am I?
