Taste color – v2

what if what is before us

heard instead of seen

or what if what we see

isn’t seen but tasted

taste color, hear words

a new world within us

drinking in an image

an image transformed

not seen but heard,

or rather tasted

“Taste colors”

http://raymondafoss.blogspot.com/2013/01/tasting-colors.html

series of poems based on

segment on how babies,

when they are wearing a brain cap,

to do EEG measurements, don’t always

have the visual cortex light up

when they see something but sometimes

have the auditory cortex light up,

as if they are hearing the image, the colors.

at about 6:15 minutes to about 8:45  minutes
