Life is just a combination of 26 letters.
Letters make sounds we become accustomed to
and then these sounds spill into emotion.
When we choke on a sob,
I wonder what letters are spilling out of our mouths.
Maybe when we don't know what to feel
our 26 letters are in the wrong combination
or just backwards.
When we sigh a happy sigh
I wonder if the letters themselves are happy.
If letters make sounds, and sounds make emotion
then maybe letters have emotion too?

If letters make sounds, and sounds make emotion
