oh i say ~ my word!

 oh i say ~ my word!


there is this torrent of words

my nose just above the waters 

turning over a green rock smooth

this cataract of words gilded

in the light of it all 

just above the surface 

flailing falling

gargling gurgling words

sluicing slithering words

from some heady head-water 

replenished by the cloudy words

the reign of words gathering

meaning gathering meaning

through every paddler deeming

to pan for gold in them there ills 

begotten of time and again the words

tumble non-stop into the abyss 

of a cavernous appetite to swim

in this torrent of words

your words become my words

and my word do tumble

in their meaning to say


what?

w w what’s that you said?
