In a small cafe by Stefano Corso
Listening
Missed Connections in Brooklyn
the commercial said that it tastes like real brewed tea, because it is
which made me wonder, how far from real are we
and why is real a selling point
listening is a gift and we can do it everyday
we can all hear, but how many of us truly listen
Her Two Cents
Doesn’t it seem like the further away we travel from what is real, the harder it is to listen to the stillness inside us, inside the earth we stand on? Our senses absorb the artificial surroundings and come to enjoy the chemically, genetically, surgically-modified versions of what we once only knew of in a natural state. We may hear the sounds of all things unreal, but is there anything in it to listen to?
