we learn a language to understand another way
of what and why do we care
if we can communicate with someone who lives across the sea
in a place where trains run on time
and politicians care about their people
no such places exist yet the lure of language persists
as if in learning, we’ll open our hearts to some
unknown place that yearns to be discovered
between the conditional and subjunctive for
in between knowing and confusion we search for
some version of the truth
