"The more the words,
the less the meaning,
and how does that profit anyone?"
Words have run aground now,
banked against the torrent of silence
lapping on the edge of meaningless
and what would it profit
either of us to talk or write
except to find a way to
fill the blank unanswered
spaces, dam them up
with beaver's work
and keep the water of
our distress at bay
The more the words, the less
the meaning, so says the Preacher
of Ecclesiastes and he has been
known for wisdom centuries
before we barged upon
these shores
