lyrics

we moved into the new neighborhood
and my best friend’s parents were both deaf

they met at the Oral School
a repository for the children
of a lesser God

I understood.

I understood their language
the teletype phone.
the electronic calls
they could respond to

she chastised me
for reading the family mail
but I never opened an envelope

she asked me why

“it’s the words, it’s all I have” I replied, when asked
“you seem to value them?” she noticed
“don’t you?”
Their oldest arrived home in a late 70’s haze
One night during a sleepover
I had never heard someone scolded
By a parent
Quite like that
Quite like that

It was deafening
