I walked in among the words and the letters
too long ones and short ones
tall letters and new narrow words
It was hard to see the Books
through the thoughts
I said let me tell you a story
I mean, Can you hear that?
A story, a story about words
the lies we tell each day
the life we made up here
the simpleton of it all
the people we chose to be around
digital images on Screens
on paper
on reality
Can you hear the story about
the birds
we needed to learn to sing
we needed music
the birds taught us heart
and we learned without
words
Can you hear it?
