I use big words

You use big words too

Big words help me communicate

Complex things to you

But as I am reading

The things that you write

I see communication as far from your sight

Instead it would seem

At the core of your plight

Is a need to be valued

And that isn't right

For the value in words

Exists in their content

Content obfuscated by all of this nonsense

I'd just hope it's clear

At the heart of my fear

Is thought I'll be scorned for verbosity

You claim to see me

When I cannot see myself

I'm sure you had meant something

Guess it can't be helped

I'd love to see myself

I can squint and fuss or bite

I just get light I once bumped into

Falling into my eyes

We seem to be confused

About what good is

It's not of heart

It's not of soul

It's of the mind

Regardless of what man may desire

It's in actions that goodness we find

I dreamed I could sing in two notes at once

My heart free to express itself

Words flew from my mouth

Like water over a hill

Putting less jagged shape to feelings

That cut me deep inside

A crowd gathered to hear me

Like a bird inside a zoo

But she was in the audience

It seemed clear that she knew

This was no performance

I hadn't chosen the place or time

Simply a victim of circumstance

With far too much on my mind
She asked for *** later on and I forgot what came before but it must have been stupendous, I was myself around her, comfortable, however excited and surprised by the change in gears, I woke up....

Necessity's amenities

Simplicity and clarity

Like the air on our skin

Forgotten until the wind blows
Because Panda Express

******* ducking

Never ever clever

Just evasiveness

Cowardice

Not a facit of wit

Aloof fool toiling on 22s

Torrent in toe

Tangible branchable bearings beset

Animus stagnent infact

Solution in stasis

Compacted it's stable

Refracting the bable

Encoding the tables

Producing the key
