As my voice dances on your eardrum,
I twist and turn around my sentence…
You nod along, say you understand,
But how can I ever know?
These shapeless words, dissolve and reform
Through your knotted network of neurons…
You weave them into familiar forms,
But where does my meaning go?
It’s bent by your perception’s prisms,
and refracted by filters and frames…
You think you hear without projection,
But, I’m just your own echo.

- Comment from author about the poem: When much of our experience is intangible, beyond words--ineffable........ When we see the world as a mirror--a reflection of ourselves....... I wonder, have my words been received as I intended? Perhaps human tendency towards projection prevents us from ever being completely understood.
