There's a story in an ancient play about birds called |
|
The BirdsAnd 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 if 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. |
