latin

you enroll in a class
to learn another
language.
you're tired of yours.
of your babble.
it's mundane and cliche.
full of slang
and what not.
you want to be more
enlightened
more aware of other
ways of expressing
your self. you want
to feel with another
set of words, to write
and speak in another
man's shoes.
when you order coffee
you want to turn heads
with your fluent
and exotic way of
speaking. you want to
curse in another language.
and smile as you're
doing it, no one
the wiser.
especially you.
