The God of Our Dreams * Coda
Every act of communication is an act of translation.
— Gregory Rabassa
All humans speak multiple languages
but never anyone else's.
A boss's no knife/no back policy
becomes garbled in the red liquid aftermath
of a pen to the jugular.
Daddy's little girl says nothing
for 8 weeks and no one understands
her subtlety.
A new love smiles in Portuguese.
I love you, he says.
Only if, she responds.
Shh. Listen to your neighbors' dog
listening to their neighbors' ecstasy
without an accent.
Translate that if you can.
Le Hinton
from The God of Our Dreams
