After starting to develop spoken language. I babbled a lot between the ages two to three. Then for infantile reasons I shied away. Needing information, whilst at risk giving it away. Spoken language now came with a price tag, As too often the wails and cries of a child do. Cruel words all sound the same. Didn't listen. Focused on a multi layered blank canvas, So I never missed a hint or breeze of change. An eyes look, an expression expressed behind. The turn preempted by a sense of pressure; Fear memory alerting muscle memory. Catch the release to ease by a close peer. The direction of the storm is not them but me. For the witness of, encountered nice people, The gentlest embrace, declaring just you wait. The hidden tone, of when we get home, Painted in detail across the softest motherly face. Most valuable nurturing in communication. Later I found I knew how to read every non sound. A hundred unspoken conversations in a crowd. Hidden sadness and still to be revealed joy. I speak now with my ugly mother tongue; Listening to words said before the speakings’ begun.
Legacy
I’ll just leave you this, a little scribble about legacy. Legacy, opportunity for those to come Or a little pride for those already gone. If I can create safety for others that's all the legacy I need. Have you ever tripped on a footprint? I owned a shire horse once, William. Biggest horse breed in the world, huge feet. Huge prints, distracted, I've tripped on a few. Avoid unnecessary footprints others fall over. Other than that footprints leave little impression at all, Unless fossilized they will eventually wash away. Penniless and possessionless we all come and go. Will I die in peace? No I will live on for eternity “Take only memories, leave only footprints”. Chief Seattle Legacy, opportunity for those to come, Or pride for those already gone. If I leave nothing I bequeath no danger If remembered for treading firmly but softly. Causing no harm to what no one can own Opportunity for those after to receive less in spoil. Of what we are all intimately part of. The consistency of intimacy amongst people. None of us can bequeath what none of us can own

I'm a good boy I already subscribed. Does that make me efficient?
Trickster Text Thursday: Linguistic Disturbance
Meaning Is Slightly Unsupervised Here (Activity) Let Language Loosen Giving Linguistic Disturbance (Exercise) Post one to five lines where language bends, slips, or misbehaves. Short. Witty. Unpolished (Micro Poem). Let meaning drift just far enough to notice. Theme: Haunted Homophones Use sound-alike words to make meaning misbehave. Example: I said I needed peace, but my past heard piece and arrived carrying scissors, eager to discuss what remained of the evidence.

Convinced to invest in new panes to shelter from the storms of the world. But the cost of my pains shattered my belief in the comforts of double glazing.

Mick Collins. I hate bios. I'm a teacher. All I ever wanted to be. There is no greater privilege than to be trusted to teach a child. I also scribble
