The Beginning of Memory |
There’s a story in an ancient play about birds called The Birds |
And it’s a short story from before the world began |
From a time when there was no earth, no land. |
Only air and birds everywhere. |
But the thing was there was no place to land. |
Because there was no land. |
So they just circled around and around. |
Because this was before the world began. |
And the sound was deafening. |
Songbirds were everywhere. |
Billions and billions and billions of birds. |
And one of these birds was a lark and one day her father died. |
And this was a really big problem because what should they do with the body? |
There was no place to put the body because there was no earth. |
And finally the lark had a solution. |
She decided to bury her father in the back of her own head. |
And this was the beginning of memory. |
Because before this no one could remember a thing. |
They were just constantly flying in circles. |
Constantly flying in huge circles. |
