on one side....
what we call logic
how things connect, addition
what it means laid out in words...
the art of language itself
the ability to use it


on the other side....
(misleading to even have
words here)
red and blue, a sky
and a song
the taste of maple
the sound of the cat purring


Now, combine them
That is you.

It is not a mystery so much as an art form
Drizzle poetry and bird song over cold hard fact
and set alight with Love
Stand back and watch a whole new generation
stumble as they try to figure it out.
If you must laugh, try to do it kindly.
Indeed, language is an ***** of perception, not simply a means of communication.”
― Julian Jaynes
