Write down.
                            seal up.
--canned jars of word preservatives
saved until years of dust pile
memory drippings into prefrontal stalagmites;
a child's curiosity.
                                         -- Reach maturity
all of the sudden it's ready to open
mild fermentation.
analytical tongues criticize and patronize that
I am not the right size
Demand and detention coincide degrees and shatter ice well long lived, layered and taught
