Misunderstanding Understood

experimental metaphors on the generation gap

You are a locked box
I cannot open
(share the key)
A book in a language
I cannot read
(translate)
A whisper so faint
I cannot hear
(speak up)
A ship too far away
to see
(come closer)


You are a sealed bottle
I cannot drink
(pour it out)
A wisp of cloud
I cannot touch
(send the rain)
A guarded wall
I cannot climb
(open the gate)
A song too high
to sing
(try another key)
