Les Bizarrables
All I Know
AYONS-MINE:
And now I'm writing once again.
No one to praise, no one to doubt it.
Without a joke, without a ken,
Without a thing to say about it.
And now the Net is there,
And I can make believe they care.
Sometimes I wander on the Net,
When everybody else is sleeping.
I talk to them and hope they comprehend
The purpose of my weeping.
The backup tapes unwind,
And I can ventilate my mind.
All I know is hidden deep inside me.
All I know, my hopes and dreams adorning.
Without words,
For words cannot express them,
I walk upon the wire,
And with electric fire confess them.
All my pain is shaved into a sliver.
Hot and sharp, like kissing in a quiver.
From the darkness, I climb into the sunlight,
And as I see Melpomene forgive her with a shiver.
All I know is locked within my mind,
And I'm writing to myself and not to them.
And although I know that they're unkind,
Still I say what I say to them.
I know this!
But when the post is written,
I'm declawed.
The kitten's just a kitten.
Without me, my words are rearranging.
And all I know, it starts to flow,
My message subtly changing.
I know this!
And I know what I'm needing!
All I know I've always been protecting!
Without me,
The words will go on breeding.
Those words without the wordlessness
That blankets all I know!
I know this. I know this.
I know this, and this is all I know!
