now take this word

 now take this word


and place it next to that word

then

take another word 

and place it against another word


each of these couplets 

resonate or assonate internally 

and both the couplets 

resonate or assonate with each other


but wait .... w__ait

each word carries baggage 

entomological and colloquial insinuations

and these resonate or assonate

with each other and with the words


now ....  n__ow it gets recursive 

and convoluted because

there are so many words

and so many bricklayers

who interact with

the words and each other

and all carry baggage

and different trowels


some attractive some not

and then there is the clichéd ink

in the clichéd quills and think wells

and parchment of skins

thick and thin


now take this poem


and place it next to that poem ....


then take this book ....
