Literature...

Words I cannot understand;
Their literal meanings...
Lost.
Translated and spoken again
Into something completely,
Unpredictably different.
The literal becomes oppressed-
While the metaphorical exceeds
The meaning beyond this single
Interpretation.
Objectivity
Becomes subjective,
Lost in meaning;
The navigator creates a map
Of varying interpretations...
Forgetting the compass that will lead them
(Back to the center).
Originally a single
(point);
Becoming a tangent...

...Then a far-off extrapolation,
Where the (point) does not exist
"Literally" on its own.
