I Hear Your Words

A shaped poem. See post for description

Description: Several interlocking cycles of words, which can be read starting in a few different places. Moving left-to-right, one reading might be:

I hear your words have meanings even the meaningless interjections mean something to me I can’t unsee

Another might be:

Words have meanings even the meaningless interjections mean I am here I hear your words have meanings (etc)

And another:

I hear your meanings even when you don’t mean them (…or say you don’t…) even the meaningless chatter in scripted exchanges unchanging uncaring (note: I never got the script)

All the different lines converge on a smaller circle made up of the words:

So please won’t you mean what you say what you mean what you say what you mean what you say…
