Exhaust

They ask me how I do it
                     I exhaust the language 
They’ve got themselves a show
I have got myself a challenge 



An abstract of gathered details
                    I exhaust the language 
They try again to comprehend 
I try to set a reasonable pace

 


That’s too dramatic, they say
                     I exhaust the language 
Do they sit and judge in the audience 
Just to watch me die in a silent cage?
