Yesterday, 03:35 PM
I welled up babbling from a rainground
gurgling for my mother tongue
under skyfather blue
until I found among any-angle tangles of downstreams
a brothertongue that swelled my wordhoard.
After many wave copulations
with an insult of parlances,
and an overwhelm of loquacious coinings
I became a rhythmic river
echoing and rhyming down
till I widened into Lake Lexicon.
There I stilled a while
for the fishing of new phrases in a lingua Franca
where scriptures of river songs
were sung and passed down
to babbling babies
to begin all again.
This done
my current carried barges burdened with
tomes, testaments, letters and et ceteras
in a joyful Babel
till clogged up and bogged down in an estuary of low tidings,
chatbot verbiage, emoticons and whatever
I dragged
all down
to where all was
merged
mingled
and
petered out
into
an English sea.
Then on the incoming tide,
A bottle with a message in it.
One day someone will find it and say:
Look what I found: let me read it to you:
