Odd Note

I do not want to speak

Nothing to say, feeling oblique
Both feet will fit between the teeth
Frightened by the words coming from this mouth
Trying to stop them having a life of their own
does not good
Take her for a dance 
Blow the deal by being too nice
Too honest then hesitating once too often
The bacteria that fill the pauses eat braincells, 
they feast on intellectual potential
abandonment of virtue 
the politics of betrayal and pretending 
unwinding resolutions 
breakfast upon failure

I do not 
I do not want
I do not want to speak
Not much to say 
feel so oblique
Both feet fit well 
between each set of teeth
Fear of words coming from its mouth
Try to stop them having a life of their own
But it does no good
Take her for a dance and  
Blow the deal being too nice
Hesitate once too often and allow
the bacteria to fill the pauses 
and eat braincells, 
they feast on intellectual potential
The abandonment of virtue 
the politics of betrayal and pretending 
unwinding resolutions 
breakfast upon failure
I do not 
I do not want
I do not want to speak
Not much to say 
feel so oblique
Both feet fit well 
between each set of teeth
Fear of words coming from its mouth
Try to stop them having a life of their own
But it does no good
Take her for a dance and  
Blow the deal being too nice
Hesitate once too often and allow
the bacteria to fill the pauses 
and eat braincells, 
they feast on intellectual potential
The abandonment of virtue 
the politics of betrayal and pretending 
unwinding resolutions 
breakfast upon failure
