Letters, symbols, myriad words of
Epochs long gone by weren’t
exposed to
Xerography
In those early times. Eventually
Committees
Organized,
Gathered and
Recorded
All the words we know—
Parola, palabra, Wort, ord, mot—
Happily categorized them, and
Yes, of course, alphabetized
them.
Should
anyone out there like to replace the line noting a few Western Hemisphere
languages with the word for ‘word’ in other global tongues, please do so. Speaking
of words, I would love to hear how
the word ‘love’ sounds and looks in all our world’s languages.
