The poets in our heads
are poets of sound and light-
they are constantly fighting
the noise of both.
THEY HAVE TO YELL!
The poet in my head
can’t get out
through my mouth,
we might as well
remove our ears,
I’ve sewn it shut
to FIGHT THE SOUNDS!
You could seal your eyes
from the noise
but then there would be no way
to enter your head
by WAY OF LIGHT!
So here are poets of light and sound,
but they are drowned
in the intensity
of SOUND AND LIGHT!
The poet of light
will enter your mind
through your eyes
and not your ears-
so be prepared
to FIGHT THE NOISE OF LIGHT!
If, however, you remove your eyes,
and keep your ears,
you'll have to FIGHT THE NOISE THERE TOO!

La-la-la-la-la.
Me-me-me-me-me.
Did the poet get through?
That wasn’t the poet of sound
but the poet of light.!
Did he reach you
through ALL THE NOISE?
So the poet of light writes:
“The kitten reading the magazine tonight
while eating cake by candlelight
saw not the handle on the rug
or the scarf in the branches high above.”
Notice, you heard no sound
through the noise.
Here, light is not affected
by the NOISE OF SOUND!
But, the words would have echoed
in your head
in quiet solitude,
yet in your head
that echoing sound is not affected
by THE NOISE OF LIGHT!
.................................
So we near the END!
We re-fasten our ears
and pull out the threads from our lips.
Our minds are lost once again
in the din of sounds
and blinding lights
that once again assail us.
The mouths begins to move again.
WE CANNOT WIN!
................................
So the meaning of words
grow distant and dim
as the poets of sound and light are swallowed
by the sea of noise
of lights and sounds
that OVERWHELM!
Such poets wait
in the quiet corners
of our large minds
until the noise
of lights and sounds
GO AWAY!
