To Be Read Out Loud

Funny how we form words with our mouths talk out loud in the air use tongues leap and dance on the roof and floor lungs push breath out heads break down spit them out hear them fly waves of air tide of words moon is high and so are you funny how we learn to form words there open the door and clouds of letters block the sun (only shines in silence) and the beach of your lips funny how words learn to form about a world not one but yours comes from mom and on and on and don a set of word s clothes or grass skin grasping to know why it’s funny to form how words learn in a poem about itself you can hear chatter like an old man alone and happy puts on mukluks on a summer day funny how we form words with our mouths open and bounce around like frog s in a sewage tunnel with sticky legs trying to spit out but just sounding funny.
