Poem: "Unaccented" bu Maureen Thorson, from Share the Wealth

God's first language is silence.
His second, heat.
He learned mercy next,
though he still has trouble with the pronunciations.

Then Aramaic, Igbo, Old High German.
God is a completist,
proud to understand every earthly prayer.

But if you've studied languages, you know comprehension's the easy part.
Much harder to say something back without using your mother tongue.
