Central Processing Unit

Until they are read

Words are static and mute

Have no smell

Provide no tactile stimulation

But the brain

Creates sights and sounds to correspond

to the preserved ideas

Turns them into emotion

Makes them ugly or beautiful

Gives them meaning

And if this poem seems senseless

Blame it on your mind

For words are nothing

But a waste of ink and space

Without that central processing unit
