We Live in Secret Cities
![Page 3: The Cities Inside Us English](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052623/559a004c1a28ab02098b4820/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
And we travel unmapped roads.
![Page 4: The Cities Inside Us English](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052623/559a004c1a28ab02098b4820/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
We speak words between us that we recognize
But which cannot be looked up.

They are our words.
They come from deep inside our mouths
You and I, we are the secret citizens of the city inside us,
![Page 6: The Cities Inside Us English](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052623/559a004c1a28ab02098b4820/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
And inside us
There go all the cars we have driven and seen,
There are all the people
We know and have known,
![Page 7: The Cities Inside Us English](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052623/559a004c1a28ab02098b4820/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
There are all the places that are
But which use to be as well.

This is where they went.
They did not disappear.

We each take a piece
Through the eye and through the ear.

LOUD Inside us
in there,
It’s
![Page 11: The Cities Inside Us English](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052623/559a004c1a28ab02098b4820/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
And when we speak in the outside world
![Page 12: The Cities Inside Us English](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052623/559a004c1a28ab02098b4820/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
We have to hope that some of that SOUND does not come out,
That an arm
Not reach out
In the place of a tongue.
