Clarification

clarification isn't the point
clarification is a grocery receipt
everything I specify
is interpreted as gobbledygook
I'm through looking for a translator
I'm through the smeared mirror
the rearview mirror
objectivity is nowhere near
you can't hear me
the screams are echoes swallowed
by insensitive canyons
I'm a banshee no more
I'm a smooth operator
cool as a cucumber
if it's lava you want
hop a plane to Hawaii
no more 'splaining to do
this is as crystal clear
as I'll ever be
