What I Said, Where I Said It, and Why

To hear myself say it



To listen to myself saying it to you



Who listen, to them or who



Cares why I said it 



That I said it for a reason



Or not, to you or not to you.



When I said it I said it



On the street, by the pier, in a city



On the water.



I said it in the forests



Of America. A little songbird



Who is frightened of the moon



She hears me say it to you



Who listen, I hear her



Who hears me too.



I don't think she listens 



When I say it. 



She sings to us the vowels



In a sequence--ee, ah, oo, ay; ee, ah, oo, ay.



Did Helen say it to Clytemnestra.



Did Jack Spicer



Overhear her say it to me.



I believe what I hear



In dreams, the people who speak



From inside me in dreams



Who whisper to me



The whys and hows of saying 



It to you. I cain't believe



I said it to you.



Are there any good poems 



About saying it.



If you find one let me know.
