In my head and heart... there's always something I'm mulling over that is yet to live in actual written 'flesh and blood' on the page.... I'm deeply intrigued by the question and the depths of which the pondering for answers can take you...
You always amaze and leave me stimulated in new and interesting ways.... I totally love it.

Thank you.
There was an open mic at a cafe in phoenix. A man attended almost every one. He would ask the group for three words, then would recite a poem-
not just superficially squeezing the words in, but a meaningful creation.
He did this for many years and never wrote a word on paper.
I often wish those were recorded….

Hmm, thought provoking, yes. 🤔 how does oral tradition fit with this idea? Is it documented when a listener commits it to memory for the purposes of continuing the tradition? Is it documented when it is spoken? Certainly the poetry has died when all record, whether external or in memory, has been lost. As a practical application, despite having recorded songs I wrote & sang as lullabies to my babies, I seem to have lost all record (including my memory of them) which saddens me.

Thank you.
I have similar memory issues related to writing. Friends sometimes ask me about a particular poem, and I usually have no recollection of it. Sometimes if I read an older poem, I do not even recognize the writing as my own.

If a tree falls in a forest, and no-one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Anything which gets the old brain cells whirling, or emotions twirling, can’t be a bad thing. Bit like your poem here.
