The Unwritten
Inside this mind
Crunched up idea that have never been seen
never been heard
never been mentioned
they’re hiding
they’re awake in there
dark in the night
hearing us
but they won’t come out
not for food not for games not for tsunamis.
even when we are growing
they’ll still be there
hiding in your brain
Crowds of people in the days and months may walk through them
Breathe them
be none the wiser
what ideas can it be
that they won’t understand
in what speech
Would I remember it
would I be able to read it
to make out the real opinion
of everything
maybe there aren’t many
it could be that there’s only one idea
and it’s all we need
It’s here in this mind
every mind in the world
is like this
