Communication Error
Author:
Joseph Kiley PM
A rather short poem that attests to language's inability to adequately express all emotion. Especially concise language.

Yeses and Noes fill the air

Dictated by a despotic system of ones and zeroes

Dynamic seas from within are transformed

Into switches on a transistor

The switches malfunction daily

Ones and zeroes congregate into letters

And letters form into left-brained thoughts

Which only work through connotations

Emotion is not binary
