Consider spelling's
telling usage -
g, gh in the middle
or
preferring mu to mou.
You wander through North America, Europe
in py, pa, nightclothes
or begin those within with fe, foe
while above us air, aer
fly in the sky
and on earth ty(re) ti(re) remain roadworthy.
This preference for
oes to es, aes to es
choosing more letters, or less
may also point to
how we sound spelling -
as in ke or cu.
You begin to perceive
spelling's
magical fluidity,
an ability
to hold
new and old lightly
for the next century
