I'd rather write than speak

I’d Rather Write Than Speak

By: John Kazerooni

I’d rather write than speak,

Where words flow freely, clear in thought.

When I speak, they slip, disgraced,

Lost in haste, then gone to waste.

A spoken word, once cast, is set—

Mistakes I make, I can’t reset.

But in my writing, there’s the space

To smooth them out, to find their grace.

With pen in hand, I see what’s right,

Each thought refined, each line in sight.

I linger there, in quiet peace—

Yes, I’d rather write than speak my piece.
