Swallow your words. Plunge headlong
into water. Even there you can hear
laughter. Go under, go under.
Even though someone is speechless
does not mean he does not cry out.
Close your eyes, and still you can see.
The light comes through, the dark
comes through. Words are simple
and not so simple. They can be used
with understanding and not.
Turn nothing over
and what have you?
