Symbols 2

by George Hoerner

you know
it's what
they call
those things
like signs for
handicapped parking
or different colored lights
or letters

we manipulate
from a thru z
we add and rearrange
into words which are
symbols at best
and lies at worst

used to communicate
even though you
believe you know
what i say
even when
i'm not sure

i know
what
i'm trying
to say
and this
doesn’t even
come close

like ststuutttererrinng
over words
you've used
a thousand
times

...of course the International Symbol for "poem", has got to be a poem, right? Good reading. Thanks.
