When I was a child I use to wish I could be a poet.
I would sit up at night and "study,"
Memorizing the dictionary to bolster (Websters Pg. 142) my lexicon (Oxford Pg. 468) of applicable (New English Pg. 56) words.
Or I'd try and tie my tongue in twists to taste the untouched tenor of my tone.
Now I am a poet,
and I wish I could be a child.
