A few new facts about hearing,
Language, and language processing—
You listen for the meaning,
For the meaning caught as meaning,
First. You take the words made flesh,
From flesh, made your flesh, separate
Out the sounds for parallel neural
Systems, take the words straight in
As language, as meaning, as us.
That seems weird, even to us,
That when you hear us, you hear us,
What we are, not what you just heard.
