Poem: Language, like love (Excerpt)
Author: Alvin Pang

Love perhaps, like language, happens.
It's done, simply because it can be done
and someone thinks they want it to happen.

Perhaps language is most like love
when it is not there, when it has to be looked for.
When it won't come if called.
When it leaves.
When we reach for it, just before
we realise its absence.
