Where in the World?

No thought, a word never spoken, never heard.

Then it is fair to say, what could have been does

not exist today. No red fox at night crawling from

its den, no moon, full or half, waxing or waning

overhead. The wino passed out in the alleyway

goes unseen. Have you heard, had it not been for

Theo, Vincent may have lost both ears. No thought,

a word never spoken, never heard. Then Messi may

have never scored the winning goal. The threatened

and persecuted would not find asylum at the border.

Should there be the faintest idea never spoken, then

only a fog would exist clouding the imagination. No

thought, a word never spoken, never heard and no

Best of Show is awarded at the county fair. The

magician’s rabbit never appears, and the hat remains

empty. Had I not thought of you today, and you of me,

then indeed where in the vast expanse of nothingness

would we be? Say something, anything...speak to me!

No thought, a word never spoken, never heard. Without

yeast the dough would never rise. And then, where on

Earth would we be?
