Wednesday Poem

Words Are Everything Else

our first teacher?
survival

her reward?
evolution

fleeing the sabretooth
we cried out in fear

others heard it
as warning.

so we were harried
into language

where we found
bricks for a palace

now we doubly dwell
creatures of events

yet inhabitants
of a house of mystery
