Please don't speak You are woman's image And that's enough for me Hold your shape And your mannerisms Leave your voice with silvered tones And I will do the same Until the bubble-image Of ourselves pops And then Only then Shall I ask Who you are And begin the steps Toward therapy or shill I find you no more conscious than I?
Irwin R. Shaw - July 19th 1982
Please don't speak
You are woman's image
And that's enough for me
Hold your shape
And your mannerisms
Leave your voice with silvered tones
And I will do the same
Until the bubble-image
Of ourselves pops
And then
Only then
Shall I ask
Who you are
And begin the steps
Toward therapy
or shill I
find you
no more conscious
than I?
