Rudy Francisco: Mama Saba asks

"What's the word for that
in English?"

And there I am, 

trying to catch the breeze

with a butterfly net.

I fumble through

the only language I know

and find everything

but an answer.

Eventually, I give up and say,

"I don't think there is one."

English is the shiniest hammer

I own, but it's also

the only thing in my toolbox.

I use it all the time,

but there is so much

it cannot do.
