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
