Borders Between Content and Emotion

I love music, studied languages, stultifying
my soul with grammar rules in modules of
melodies, then flowed into the swamp of
bureaucracy

Going astray from ideals of musical sounds,
flowing rhythmically, to the shocking discovery

ice-cold meaning

Within clear lines; words that never sing, croaking
hoarsely, filled with dissonance and discord,
but the meaning is right, the borders
between content and emotion

Guarded faithfully, while living on lies –
as long as the lies are clearly
formulated, everything’s fine…
