HOW I THINK I AM TODAY




How can we know what it is we will say when next time we speak?
Rain becomes a river; but does it control where it is going?
Can we control the events that will structure our every sentence -
shape our every word  -
and; by twisting and melding our minds to its will;
shape our every thought?

...We talk,
and then we talk about what it was we said,
and then we say things about what it was we spoke of,
and then;  once spoken,
the words we digest; in our minds we build bridges,
to corners - some barren, some full,
some light and accessible  - some dark and remote

Dark corners with no doorways;
don’t welcome me in,
 like they welcomed the thing that shaped me,
the event which made me;  who I think I am today.

Listen!
