They form the basis for whichever world we choose to look out onto.
They construct the buildings, do the Math, envision the future.
Like pen strokes of an elderly artist
our first words stumble shakily from idea to form
as we try to construct our first world
later words like lesbian feminist and abolitionist enter our vernacular to depict yet even more complex and complicated systems of interconnectedness than any skilled artist could draw
the Sistine Chapel came close
to what we think of every day
as our reality
