SOME WORDS
Some words have speakers
attached to them -
like those
birthday cards that play music
when you open them up. They
call for double postage but
some of them are neat ….
Take gravel – when I see that word -
I can hear it squirm under the tire of
my eye - as I drive over it on a page –
so too mention of cockroaches and
mosquitoes and crocodiles. They make
my face tighten up and squirm each time.
Then there are words that are as smooth
as butter or ice cream – blue sky words –
easy on the eyes – easy on the ear.
Well then, I hope my words bring peace
and serenity and nobody sees me as
an alligator coming up a gravel path.
