Hero of a Silent Movie

Marcin Majkowski

Once
someone said
you’re colorless
as a character
in black/white
movie session
Expressionless
devoid
of communicative organs
left
with dumb
facial expression

Like
Charlie Chaplin
but this
turned out
to be
a compliment
So perhaps
like Frankenstein
that’s better
an intellectual
impotent

Relishing
and noticing
slight differences
in shades
of grayness
A handicapped mute
registering
the signs
atmosphere
of uniqueness

Devoid
of verbal abilities
I throw myself
into the ocean
of gesticulation
Unwanted child
color scales
adopted
by grayness
within framework
of mystification
