A mass of land between two oceans

Noise, stuttering stammering
mismatched Notes
Bay lights
    fading
  without value
              purpose

Wrap the tongue
around the noise
  make some sense
           Luther King
           Billy Sunday
           Hitler
had fabulous tongues
   their verbal gray mist leaking;
   into clear days
   and blank slates

firey words, noises
blasted pointlessly on pious grounds
the final chords of a striking movement
hard
leave gaping craters on land
unfamiliar with a terribly familiar
Noise
