Only if by Perseus
FAMOUS LAST WORDS...?
well?, never really are.
as soon as they get spoken
they go straight into a jar...
...of the minds of those still listening
while traveling from a star
just off the wing of Perseus
who had heard them from afar
when he deemed them insignificant
they return to form a scar
like etchings upon tombstones
that have thickened up as tar.
And somehow they now get called,
Famous Last Words.

Having become late deafened, I now use poetry as a form of bridging the comm. barrier.
