Analysis of Cat Got Your Tongue

Sarah Brower 1995 (New Jersey)



It’s unfortunate
how a pandemic killed social skills
that ever since
conversation was buried alive

An art forms legacy extinct
next generation will only know
auto correct and keyboards

Face to face a summers breeze
now tuned into an earthquake
for the already timid

For me I wish to contribute
to the resurrection of speech
no,
not the robotic cookie cutter
but to use my voice
at every opportunity
