Words

Words
We say lots of them
But only a few
Last longer than a minute or two and
Even fewer
Make it through a season and
We have no control over which ones last or
Where they stay
We don’t even have total control over which ones we use
Which ones we send out into the world
We just place them as carefully as we can or
Throw as many of them out there as we can
Then
We listen to
What others have to say
To their words
