Of course
these things were always so
and were so
before him
but this was the first time
he noticed them
& put them into words
inside his head
even when he had no words
to speak them
still relishing the stream
of thought that
told him
water is wet
it either flows or stands still
it is either noisy or silent
you either put it
on you or in you.
How old could he have been then?
Learning the world for the first time!
Here now
an old man
learning it all over
as the paralysis
grips him tighter.

I would like to translate this poem
Intense, emotional write it would seem about how sometimes we are afraid to put into words what we feel like we're emotionally paralyzed or than there is the sad case of autism, the one where one looses their speech...Lot to interpet in here...marci.m.
