some struggle…for the words
the right ones
correct and makes the point
some never find them…the magic sentence
that heals
that wins the argument
that says “I love you”
others find them
treasure troves
silver tongues
eating shakespeare sandwiches
and charles dickens cakes
with fried steinbeck
and speeches of lincoln
served with sides of bukowski
hemingway fish dishes
melville snapper
playful nabokov sentences
f scotts naughtiness
and james joyce’s stories
words words to master those words
and feast
and love
