speaking with tongue

August 8, 2013

We rationalize:
it is a jungle out there.

We possess the language
to scaffold a lasting peace.

Yet we continue to speak
reptilian.

    Hi Qazse,

    What if we are building the scaffold?

    One person at a time.

    One board at a time.

    One board a day.

    Toward to Sun.

    . . .

    Oh if you get a chance to watch ‘I Am’ (a 2011 documentary) you might enjoy it.
