The Stutterer (Mwaba Don)

[Mwaba don]

Obstacle crop up forces emotion
slow down, like a motorist spots
potholes and cautiously adjusts,
in conditions of social discomfort.

Silent pauses occur involuntarily,
like compressing and loosening
a gas hose concurrently,
sounds are annoyingly prolonged.

But with dynamic desire to orate,
as though realizing a positive idea
trickling memories of mumbling flow,
dialog goes on remorseful  hold.

A part of a stutterers nature,
as if ones forced on a life path
that coaches in a torturous way
the harmony of body and discourse.
