Isolation

Hello, how are you? Having a good week?

I stay silent,

because I do not speak the language you speak

I see you're trying to say something,

but I do not understand

The letters from your mouth that leak

And so you shake my hand.

Isolated by our differences

Though our difference is not geographical

Nor is it cultural

I’d say it’s more biological

But he’s my brother, and she’s my sister

So how is that possible.

Blind in a world other than sight

Broken and it cant be put right

But I see all the wonders of the world

And all my bones are fine

You laugh and joke

Whilst I point and sign.
