Sticks and Stones

The touch that connects- Words that bleed The closeness that rejects- Words mean nothing Actions all rubber band lies stretched far Intimate words spoken while in bed Just pillow talk for the naive head Everything in names Ideas prone to a backwards motion An unknown cause,nothing named A thought people state- Contradicting this false speech Sticks and stones made of syllables These words will grow against you --- Sticks and Stones - Soilent Green
