I have a list of words
Hidden away
That I occasionally use.
Effervescent words to fill me up
Evocative and furtive words
To give the illusion
Of gossamer spinning from my mouth
A plethora of opulent words
To form stars and nebulas.
Yet.
With all of these long, surreptitious words
They do not help
My comprehension of
The simple ones

With all of these long, surreptitious words
