I Love words – An Old Poem – video

 

I love words

Verbally forming intelligible allusions from ephemera.

Allowing every thought to be made audible and real.

I love the way words feel – when coming out of my face

as  they race  to make a connection.

I have  quite a collection.

I love their potential  when set free from preconception,

when let off the leash, and allowed to be simple,

attractive, syllabic, resonant. artistic. 

stretching the limits  of   literal linguistic.

It sounds weird    loving a sound,

a symbol, the medium for communication.

An accumulation of malleable metaphors

lumped into language 

Words are   an invisible appendage.

I plant them like seeds in people’s brains

to grow  and share what i know.

infiltrating the information homes in their head,

In bed – words are  –  genitals

of intellectual intercourse.

can you  spell   ‘horse’?

When put together   they allow conceptual impregnation. giving birth to new ideological combinations.

Every appropriate word is art.

I  like  sounding  smart.
