To devote one’s words to the eyes of another Is to devote one’s thoughts to the mind of no other, For, in my mouth and out yours, The words are all there, But the thoughts none. And everyone thinks That everyone thinks That anyone thinks At all. We fail to attend to our own thoughts, Only the thoughts of those others, Who have the thoughts of none. United in silence, Thoughtlessness, Who really has won?

Things that Really Matter or Things I Cannot Say
To devote one’s words to the eyes of another Is to devote one’s thoughts to the mind of no other, For, in my mouth and out yours, The words are all there, But the thoughts none. And everyone thinks That everyone thinks That anyone thinks At all. We fail to attend to our own thoughts, Only the thoughts of those others, Who have the thoughts of none. United in silence, Thoughtlessness, Who really has won?
