There's memory in motion
What do you remember
A snap of a finger
A flick of a wrist
I put cotton in my ears
And covered it with wax
What I'm trying to say
Is I can't hear
But I can see
I walk around
Just watching people gesture
Wildly
A long time ago
When there were not as many words
People moved more
Whole stories were told
With eyebrows
