We speak in foreign languages.

My friend Julie. And I. Speak two different languages. Little wonder. That we often don’t communicate. Because we need translations. Julie lives in her own world. I live in mine. Yes, different worlds. Different languages. We use the same words. But they have different meanings. Oh, there are breakthroughs. Moments of clarity. But misunderstandings abound. I write stuff. And send it to Julie. But she doesn’t even bother to read. Because we speak in foreign languages. --Jim Broede
