For Tran - Spoons

I transfer each word on the page to diskette

Each syllable I¹ve written on postcards and letters

If I could recall every word that I¹ve spoken

I¹d say that each syntax once more

If only for your smile

Rejecting every line

I¹m emptying my mind

For Tran, For Tran

You take me one piece at a time so cunningly

Through the tips of my fingers sitting at the keypunch

My fleeting words fade in your thoughts to emerge again

As your words not my words at all

The price that I must pay

Rejecting every line

I¹m emptying my mind

For Tran, For Tran

Rejecting every word

I¹m sacrifice my mind

For Tran, For Tran
