Meanings

they poked at the same words, with the same sounds
even though to each of them,
those same words meant something different.
this caused great confusion inside the conversation shared
I listened from a distance
as I always do,
an observer of beings, I am
if I say I've loved you for all time
is that a lie?
or is it true in my world, from my view
upon this lonely hill
the crowd grew restless
pressed and squeezed, bursting now with consternation
not knowing what to expect next, suddenly everyone scattered
like popcorn in a thunderstorm,
what a sight to see
meanings
each and everyone of them...
