Which Comes First

Which comes first? The poet or the poem? Should i love you for your words Should i follow you for your words Should i adore you for the picture on your profile Or your biography that leaves me in amazement Should i respect you for your words Or should i wait online just to see you there Linked by wires and connections Somewhere on the web of things And admirations Were your words there before you Do they make you Do they make me That maybe i only comment on yours That maybe your comment on mine Is like divine Is like oxygen Is like surviving.... Words win here And so does the creator Respectively the poet and the poem Both come first

But there would be no words without the poet, njeri. And the words were there before the poet, so chicken and egg- which came first, indeed? Viv x
