my muse speaks to me in Japanese (which I don't speak)
my muse
speaks
to me
in Japanese
which I don't speak
it's caused
a strain
on
the whole relationship
and her tone
isn't soothing
or comforting
or inspiring
it's accusatory
like the tone
she'd used
if I ran a stop sign
and t-boned her
but it's all in Japanese
which I don't understand
it's a bad situation

my muse
speaks
to me
in Japanese
which I don't speak
it's put
a strain
on
the whole
relationship
and her tone
isn't soothing
or comforting
or inspiring
it's accusatory
like
I just ran
a stop sign
and t-boned
her new civic
but it's all in Japanese
which I don't understand
it's a bad situation
my therapist
tells me
I need to listen
to her
I tell him
I can't do anything
but listen
she's always
jabbering in Japanese
at all hours
of the day and night
I'm
losing sleep
and
can't function
anymore
with
my muse
constantly chattering
in a foreign language
I don't understand
He asks
if I've
thought about
learning Japanese
I tell him
no
why should I
have to learn Japanese
she's MY muse
SHE needs
to speak
to ME
in MY language
he says
maybe
you don't understand
the purpose
of a muse
I tell him
he's the one
who doesn't
understand
I bet him
5 free sessions
that if I
bring her in
he'll toss her out
before the hours up
I win
our bet
and he
takes her on
as a patient
because
apparently
she has
some issues
as well
which is
fine
but
hasn't really
helped me
my muse
speaks
to me
in Japanese
which I don't speak
it's a bad situation
