Oh, listen, you can force it
Make the beats land differently in your mouth
Across the world our hearts must beat so differently
Otherwise why would our tongues sound so apart
That year in a faraway English class
The teacher asked me to read Frankenstein aloud
To hear the music that is English in her ears
Why, anything can be melody! Monsters are a poem!
Monsters on my tongue. Your heart beats differently
Waiting for me to release them
