"um..." - by Rand

I spent my afternoon
interviewing a series
of inarticulate Buddhas
chanting their mantra
between every phrase

Jai
Guru
Dei
Va

um...

  1. a thin line between
    knowing the right words to say
    or nothing at all

  2. In different situations
    It means different things.
    "I'm not sure"
    "Let me think here..."
    Uncertainty,
    Cautiousness,
    A comment on flavor,
    But most commonly a sound
    Used to express the
    Seeking of the unknown.
    And that is why
    I think it aptly appropriate
    To decribe my life as
    "Um..."

  4. "um..."

    The speaker
    has no idea
    they hold the gun
    with the trigger

    every “um”
    is like a bullet
    shooting me full of irritation
