What To Do With Words

You could pretend they were warm
And wear them
(The approaching cold would feel only sharper)
Use them like a bullhorn, try
To herd people
(They are like cats, and would go their own way)
Words could indicate objects
(Which you would miss when they were gone)
I could tell your story
With words
(But it might make you feel uncomfortable)
Maybe I will play an old record,
“Disintegration”
And drag you down with me
Using words
Words best suggest, without proving
Admit to frustration, without resolving
Words connect us, like strained nerves
Reflect unfulfillment
Narrate human effort
Testify
