fewer words means no greater appreciation
*well you know, I’m not one
famous for brevity, after all,*
why not *use three words for
every one sufficient, satisfying
the egotistical statistical curve
of the illnesses of literary illiteracy.
exactly.
but brevity in thanking,*
the swift surety of a few
chosen, well aimed, words,
is the arrow in the bullseye,
that is taped to my chest,
directly over my heart,
that part, from which we
ship and receive
immense gratitude
countless kindnesses
and proofs positive,
that our two hearts yet beat,
marching in more than
unison,
nay,
marching in a
unification
greater than any
distanced separation!
