The Beginning of Memory

There's a story in an ancient play about birds called The Birds

And it's a short story from before the world began

From a time when there was no earth, no land

Only air and birds everywhere

But the thing was there was no place to land

Because there was no land

So they just circled around and around

Because this was before the world began

And the sound was deafening. Songbirds were everywhere

Billions and billions and billions of birds

And one of these birds was a lark and one day her father died

And this was a really big problem because what should they do with the body?

There was no place to put the body because there was no earth

And finally the lark had a solution

She decided to bury her father in the back of her own head

And this was the beginning of memory

Because before this no one could remember a thing

They were just constantly flying in circles

Constantly flying in huge circles
