i shut up                               shut ******* trap   just   like   that and after a period                       of strained endurance i let the jaw muscle lax                       opened the ear     let it all in  wet flooded    let in the glistening din i listened in                                                on the world with appetite and  (with a little cost of time) learned a great happy nothing i heard water force through pipes            we’d buried under the ground i heard the electric we remodel       our landscaping surround i heard crowds become languages become tongue throat and gum and then the words turned to moods and mood moved with crowd and petalled into nature once i'd made contact i learned a  great   happy    nothing
