Stammer is no handicap
it is a mode of speech.
stammer is the silence that falls
between the word and its meaning,
just as lameness is the
silence that falls between
the word and the deed.
did stammer preced language
or succed it?
is it only a dialect or
a language it self?
these questions make
the linguists stammer.
Each time we stammer
we are offering a sacrifice
to the God of meanings.
stammer becomes their mother tongue
just as it is with as now.
God to must have stammered
when he created man.
that is why all the words of man.
carry different meanings.
that is why everything he utters
from his prayers to his commands
stammers,
like poetry
