pidgin

no two random aliens from across a wide universe,
no dolphin squeaking at the dance of a honeybee,
no wildly gesticulating tourist
escalating in amplification emphatic
babbling in broken brogue
pattering in pidgin patois
rambling in recondite rhetoric
gibbering in jangling jargon
could be further from being able to deduce
in language obscure and abstruse
what you and I
trying with delicacy
mean to say
when we attempt without affray
to relay what we need
without expicitly saying
what we need to say
