thinking out soft

the earliest nervecells detected patterns

a growing library of patterns had to coexist

patterns of patterns of patterns went beyond
specific sensory sources
toward abstract metaphors

time and space
in particular
grew metaphorical with each other

wide narrow fast slow smooth sharp

every tiny metaphor got tested for compatibility
against the entire evolved library
so as not to set off inapt associations

and
then
when they needed sounds
to convey patterns
they found metaphorical sounds
which also had to avoid
inapt associations
