lichen climbing envy flowered pants

quote:
There are no facts, only interpretations. Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

i have nothing to say
really, there is nothing at all to say.
everything that needs to be said, that had to be said
has already been said.
all the great thoughts, all the terrible thoughts
all the in-between ones too.

all said.

except, with all of those words said,
all the different ideas expressed in poetry,
speeches, whale calls, books, songs, art,
choir arrangements, the evening news,
sky-writing, refrigerator poetry, alarm clocks,
barking dogs, beeping trucks, penguins' penguin noises,
ticker tapes, billboards, the internet, encyclopedias
libraries, legal documents, gestures
-- with all of that said, we still have
these injustices, these terrible atrocities, inequalities,
waiting for words, communication, ideas to finally overpower them.
