rules about sound


the rules about sound grandly differ,

as opposed to the rules for substance.

sound has personal freedom in space

that substance does not.

in a time medium,

sound is profoundly advantaged

in any movement sense.

substance is stationary, 

requires sight to assist in its presence,

while sound only depends on volume to adventure.

language is the efficiency of its action,

compared to solids, that depend on touch and sight.

there is a massive difference between

the sound barrier and the mass of surface to solids.

comparison seems jocular

yet they co-exist,

and we fully partake.

it's not a wonder 

that speech gained such prominence

and that language became the auctioneer

for reality on sale,

and comprehension became the bible of worth.

somehow touch still rivals

but sound does not concede in its position.

yet I can't ask for a speech massage

and get the same impact or results as touch offers.

but if you hum in direct contact with my skin,

I will have to deliberately ponder . . .
