What is a man if he cannot speak
to softly whisper a loved one’s name or to shout it from a mountaintop
to recite poetry
to sing badly
to talk, “Look Ma, no hands!”
to express emotion in a word
to quickly say the first thing that comes to mind
What is a man if he cannot eat
flavourless, no spicy, no tangy, no sweet and sour, no just like mom used to make
textureless, no crunchy, no gooey, no snap, crackle or pop
aromaless, no smell of fresh baked bread and roast turkey
no hot, no cold
no “Here honey, try this. It’s really good”
no favourite food
no bacon double cheese, no deep dish, no over easy, no rare, medium, or well done
no wine and hors d’oeuvres
no five star restaurant, no greasy spoon
no ice cold ale, no hot buttered rum
simply sustenance in a bottle, poured into a tube
all good, no bad
