So Many Tender Buttons
by Joe CramerSo much depends upon a spoken word,
Something that is said, shared, something heard.
These voices that filter around, fly about my head,
There is so much more to that, which is left unsaid.
These ideas that are shared, these ideas that give
Bring forth such notions of the life yet to live.
So much depends upon the words, the conversation
That binds us all together, with or without elation. 01/26/2008 Author's Note: ... with a nod to Gertrude Stein....

While both of these authors are speaking of "objects" you gather the voices heard... like a collection of influence, that "filter around, fly about" your "head". |
