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...

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?
