*I like the twists and turns of phrases And how they cause smudges of fuzziness In my mind and anything that Stirs this obsession is an instant fascination. I levitate through the time and space of imagination I flip and flop on phrases and hard sounding words With mild reckless abandon And it’s the one instance I throw caution to the wind. Before a duck’s done shaking its tail These words coalesce Into ideas of grandeur and almost immediately Like quicksand disappear beneath my mind’s feet Shortest “lease” conceivable. Soon “after-words” a state of normalcy’s restored.*

The allure of words
*I like the twists and turns of phrases And how they cause smudges of fuzziness In my mind and anything that Stirs this obsession is an instant fascination. I levitate through the time and space of imagination I flip and flop on phrases and hard sounding words With mild reckless abandon And it’s the one instance I throw caution to the wind. Before a duck’s done shaking its tail These words coalesce Into ideas of grandeur and almost immediately Like quicksand disappear beneath my mind’s feet Shortest “lease” conceivable. Soon “after-words” a state of normalcy’s restored.*
Words when thrown hither and thither into an "enclosed" space like one's mind "somehow" rearrange to beautiful mouth-watering pieces of artistic expression.
