Echo-Location

Utterances are chains
Not imprisonment, but links
Comparable to action
They are feather-brush, not cannon-shot

If, indeed, they do affect
Then who is to say there's
Any ending? They will finally die
In a terminal implosion, or
Dissipate, woven into entropic heat
In the caverns of foamy space

If they are found hollow,
Is this error? It may be
That they enter the ear
As a bomb, lacking explosives
Might penetrate the earth
It burrows in
But is effaced in days, as the hole
Fills in completely - craterless

Some liken them to arrows;
When launched, the archer
Has no further effect. But
To me, there is only ignorance

I shout into the canyon
I don't know what becomes of the sound
