meaning has a life

meaning has a life,

before it comes into the apparel of words.

it has a life, 

before cognition 

makes a grasp and a stance.

meaning had nanoseconds of exuberance, 

flash-filled with immersive excitement,

as humanity, 

before the still shots are taken,

the zest, 

before the solemness of observation,

the breeding isness, 

before self-consciousness,

as the take down.

meaning, 

before it becomes languaged,

as the advertisement of self in awareness.

the quanta embrace,

before sensory dissection, 

is the commonplace override.

even before 'just think' took a stance,

meaning, 

before the salivary response is called,

before we all became audience,

to what is.

meaning had a life.

and then we went and made it 

into real . . .
