dramatic intent

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


dramatic intent

 

 

 

bilingual fortune

poetry of disassociation

 

words in brazen context

said one way, meant another

 

some get rich off the pain of others

and the accent marks

 

never really stay in their place.

disguised are words and the mask that hides them! A write to ponder on!

thank you for your words, jeannemarie.

When the accent marks fall out of place, the fake accent is exposed.
Nice one.

we sometimes dress up our language to disguise the meaning of our words, but a wolf in sheep's clothing......

well penned.

Depends on whose side you are invested in, I suppose.
this is so spot on...love the use of bilingual and accent marks; words of ill intent masqueraded with flourish eventually lose their colours and are seen for what they are... we can say it in what ever 'language' we wish, the intent remains the same...

thank you for your words, FT. you have such keen insights...

j.
The mind tends to put its own Quote marks around ...thoughts... regardless of the others' approvals. Some observations never get old regardless of age or how often they're seen. Reality has this way of intruding into our view.

So this IS a current piece regardless of the timing.
