No Words
(Epoch One: 1979-1982)
It is true
I am free
And my hands are not tied.
Still I feel every time
I reach out for you
I am serving time.
It was so kind to hear
Your warm hello
On my telephone.
Although I said not a word,
I feel you know.
You must think by now
I am a nuisance
If not totally insane.
Still remembering your number,
When you probably do not even care
To know my name.
It is true
I am free
Still I am terrified
I am guilty of some crime.
Even though I can only show
My innocence.
I feel I know.
If I said a word
I would painfully hear
Your telephone
Not say a word
As it vehemently bounds me.
