you see-we use sounds.and sight(art
in caves first(for ourselves(like fire
when we move into a tribal light(we have to agree
and language has rules which evolve(slowly-like stories
We do not understand Shakespeare
as a Warwickshire or London lad would in 1650
Texting has changed poetry
as social media has changed gossip
Language also changes tribes-expands
and alters their perimeters/so Chinese traders
and English privateers/East India Companies
export more than labels on products
(our worlds are wrapped like babies in languages-
interpretation allows survival.Verbal,visual cues
allow text to be performed.Words alone are bones
Flesh them with cultural /historical context
Minds come alive with empathic communication
Less grammar cages-more demotic conversations
Export your experiences every time you speak
Understanding and reception await unwrapping in linguistics..
We are what we speak
We become what we sing.
