Language

  

Words arise

                                  from mind space

 

intangible

abstract

conceptual

illusory

 

                                 on which civilization

                                           is based

 

words put together forming principles,

rules, laws, edicts

                                 that last for a while

and change with changing times

proving their fundamental shortcoming.

 

¨Not ideas about the thing but the thing itself.¨

 

We numbly don´t get there because we wander

through vast Arabies of hot meaning looking for 

the right words that never live up to their billing.

 

It all depends on how you look at it.

¨First, look; then you can see.¨

Who actually looks these days?

Say the word: ¨Trump¨, and someone might just

explode…a word….¨Trump¨....¨Niagra Falls¨.

Look at that.
