#1496 - the invention of writing


 

1496

5.35

4.ii.24

the invention of writing

for word & unword

 

was fire kept for a sign

it was wheel as well

 

moved the mind

it was a comeback

 

led to the recipe

would help you to forget

 

it was ‘show me a sign’

when the lightning struck

 

first thing that came

into my head

 

there would be unseen hand

moving finger

 

one day it would lead to the clock

toast to pop up

 

there’d be bibles

take the forest down

 

a little scribble gets you thinking

white noise, white space

 

even on water

this name

 

it was scratch up these sheep

helped us out of the day

 

it still goes on

quotidian thing

 

a clatter of keys

in an idle moment

 

always begins

from scratch
