a sound, an ear, a thought, a riposte?
too reductive.
are we really thus bound to the
spatiotemporal nature of apperception?

a thought, a sound, movement, vibrations,
light traveling faster than sound,
mind reading,
your thoughts, your ear, my utterance,
your conceptions explode,
and I have said hello.
you have judged me unworthy of
more than the basic civility
shown to passing strangers
before my vibration hit your ear.
