the zoom
music
formulates response
allowing beauty’s touch—
enter and scatter
waste across streets to find
birds pecking at their dentist
gaining entrance in
grocery store
outside the apartment
one lives in
even if temporary the
body as it is holds
what it contains
to breathe
who it is to
relationship with
small things
someone upstairs coughs
as in
matter or anti

was there
education was there
non-education
all have language
including those who lost ability to learn it at age 7
scientists now show found ways to continue the capacity to communicate
we never knew, where in you
are you one of those who never learned
