at night— a droning voice from above

of some mother teaching her child

the spelling of morning—

m-o-r-n-i-n-g morning

                            e moo arr ai en jee mor-

n-i-n-g     m-o-r-n-i-n-g

                            morning emoarenaienjee

emoarenaienjee em o ar en ai en jee

m o r n i n g—

in five minutes the child has been educated—

the child has learned the sound of morning

while sitting in the heart of a world of night
