Words come tumbling out of them. I sit surrounded by empty satin-wrapped wordy boxes purged of their contents. I have my whole language hemming me in with too many choices. I want my words to matter, to rage, to howl.
I want to entrance and ****** with my words. I want to expand my horizon and that of my patient readers. It should be musical with complementary chords. It should be a comfort or a kick in the *** or a tragedy unfolding.
Random words? I wonder whether there is such a thing, given our inclination to make meaning out of nothing. Throw the words out in a circle. Feel their touch. Taste each morsel. Try it on for size in front of a full-length mirror.
Some are like velvet cocoons; others, like razor blade weapons. Some can stand alone, while others are dependent. All I can do rearrange the puzzle until my words take on a life of their own, until they are no longer mine.
