Language

When in our experience

a perception arises

within consciousness

(always within!)

this, my friend

 is the real Big Bang..

The sudden dividing

perceiving of 10,000 things

clamors for identification

 for nouns and verbs..

Willing thought complies

with a full array which

 dictionaries dutifully record..

But, as you can see

with this turn of events

head-splitting problems

befuddle our lives..

A perception here

is not a perception there

and a new Big Bang

makes another demand

and off we go:

new nouns and verbs..

And things get worse:

 nouns and verbs

as spoiled children

claim to have

 an identity their own

claiming to be

the world we see..

Remember now 

those perceptions arising

those 10,000 things..?

alas, forgotten..

Ahhhhh..language...!
