Hearing history whisper in the background in an aural realm I hear enkidu bled ink to fill the pens of ready writers after ever lasting word forms a name Enki, wisdom and life flowing into length of days ancient days long remembered, visited in daydreams featuring all that may have been, then. Some soporific drink drunk in old Uruk vicareate, those in lieau of you. Dying for you to go into the realm of knowns past knowing knowns now in this realm make your mind reach mine. Stand under my lines and lean toward joy good and calm, gentle waves of peace swirling fibrating threads forming woven things, matrices, see the points crossed over and under, see the edges wound around, to keep the rubbing of reality from fraying ends. did the fingers gno the math, the ciphers we see in carpets woven by magi families for centuries, ere The Prophet were told to Read, and he refused to learn, but chose to teach that which an angel of light, warned against by Paul the Gnostic Jew, taught? Told to read, but never learning to do it, because angel said, say exactly what i say... Teachers once learned by teaching, but never has reading been masterd sans sensibility of the graphemes re presenting the noises common in every human ear hearing in sapience, abruptly Hear! Easy to be entreated. You have ears? Hear. How is never asked, why is clear; ears hear, we all have ears. Not all ears hear. But eyes can learn to read, with some effort. I magine it your task. You the first speaker of your magic tongue-lung-teeth-lips, epiglot-tonsil-nasal noise making system, engineered to permit song in accord with this, our shared realm of noises, common. Ha. This tale of an angel telling a messenger to read, is this a famous story? Have I not learned of a war being waged, i.e. fought with stand-ins paid to fight, live or die. Soldiers formed from hearers of empty songs stretched to cover eyes, as well, push and pull, hot and cold, balance value weight and worth imagine knowing no written tongue you, dear reader, this book of lives in life per se, who could see this coming? Papyrii and clay and stone cities are inventions of men men who would be kings imagined delegating knack for knack *** for tat this for that all for me, the man wombed or un who would be like the most high god I can imagine ah the danger of falling into anachronism you first must imagine, dear reader, that writing is an invention intended to bher the burden of learning to remember, really, no po'etic license claimed or blamed famine of the written word negates not the worth of rhyme and dance masques and noises of roaring bulls thrumming, thundering herds screaming hawks, squeeling rabbits, caw cawing crows or ravens if that distinction is ever necessary... as the story is told, some time after ever starts.

Hearing Sunday
Hearing history whisper in the background in an aural realm I hear enkidu bled ink to fill the pens of ready writers after ever lasting word forms a name Enki, wisdom and life flowing into length of days ancient days long remembered, visited in daydreams featuring all that may have been, then.
