WHEN WORDS ARE MORE OR LESS THAN WORDS

 


WORDS ABOVE AND BELOW THE GROUND


not all words live

only a few

breathe

sleep 

mean more or less


depends on the town crier

one of two hundred 

or so

in 

the united kingdom

or 

the memories

of

umalohokans

in 

the philippines


hear ye

the strong voices

traveling

with their words

clear

direct

with no wit

or games


oyez

the sanctimonious

the man

chief

priest

or

captain

possibly

the spouse

but not yours

no, not at all

only a dream

whisked away
