Matter Of Fact

Matter Of Fact

Sound Is Only
Movement
In A Fluid.

No Fluid, No Sound.

Hearing Requires
Something Moving
Elsewhere 
In That Fluid.

Wet.
Gas.
Vast Expanse.

Emptiness and 
Totally Solid (But Motionless)
Share Soundlessness
Like: Twins.

       So?

* I Can't Possibly *
* Hear Myself Think. *

       ***

That Must Be: Magic
        Or 
An Absolute:   Lie.
