What is Broken English?

Embarrassing
Nervous
And hesitation
It’s a deep breath
It’s grey
dusty
And
Unsaid
It’s the word

Like an ice cube
About to disappear and melt
it’s Bitter
Reapeating
Tangy.
And afraid

A box
A small room

want to escape from
But Broken English is straightforward
Simple
Short
