My mind has started speaking in German
softly to me or English in a German accent
I understand only the mood of a few words
as they whizz by in tight flocks
Ich liebe dich I say and notice how
their ‘you’ is just the addition of a ‘d’
to Ich making ‘you’ a larger ‘I’ duh
but right now I’m on the autobahn
in one of those cars that drives itself
annotating the museum-like scenery
or you catch up on your Schubert
the one composer I would love to meet
like the first person in a play to sense
the danger the whole cast and plot are in
Ich liebe dich amazing how you
could learn to say it that way.
