Me Homer, You Jane

You render me Homer, both of Greece and of Simpson,
The illiterate poet and the oblivious simpleton.
All obscure precedents, the language of trials
Have nothing on the nexus of never-ending signals
In your position, your hand's placement, your pause and your pace,
The song and direction and dance of your face
Whose affect is sharp, and I'm out of tune flat.
You say so little, and there's no limit to reasons for that.
Jane, Jane, Jane,
It's clear you and I no speak same language.
