Fingertips and Cupcakes

Press thoughts into me like fingertips
But explain to me what they mean

Shove feelings down my throat like cupcakes
But tell me what the flavours are 

Invite me to the dinner table like I’m one of you 
But show me how you live every single day
With the same humanoid shape
With the same language
With the same homeland as I
With your body comprised of the same proteins as I
With the same glucose in your veins as I 

I’ll pay voracious attention this time, I swear
I’ll try really hard to learn
So that one day I may be able
To finally assume the shape of your thoughts
And learn to play your part
