Centipede

 

Have you ever engaged in radical deep listening?

Do you listen to what’s crawling around your feet

but is making the loudest sound?

There is no sound as loud as silence

But the centipede is not silent

Listen carefully and he will deafen your drums

Why do we only hear

the loudest speaker with his mic?

The centipede is the one creating

the loudest sonic ripples

He is the one you should be listening to

but he is the one you choose to ignore

Fools

He has a message and you are too ignorant

 

Listen to the centipede,

you might learn something about yourself

that you never ever thought of

There’s beauty in his quietness

And it’s always the quiet ones

who have the most important things to say

Ear to centipede

There are bars in his legs

And you choose to ignore it

Maybe it’s time you listen.
