What is writing?

Author: Unknown

What is writing?
A series of coor
dinated muscle move
ments and electric im
pulses acting through mere
utensil comprised of but
wood, plastics, staining
a sheet of average
lined paper. A graphic
representation and
replication of vibra
tions of larnyx from
air forced through
then received in pho
nemes by the ear. Yet
what magic in use
unconsciously that makes
each sentence so unique.
Writing puts down the
words we all speak
so meaning we may
later seek.

About this poem:

I just decided to be a smartass one day and wrote about writing. Like metacognition for the written language.

I find that I am much more concise writing rather than speaking, suppose that is because there is more time(thought) passage when one writes(plus editing,second thoughts,etc).
