There's a want to be wrong
Wanted for so long
So long it seems like a folk song
Rather than a foregone conclusion
Just another drawn in lexicon
A childish tantrum replayed like a sing-a-long
'Till the real "want" is gone
And I have to admit I have no idea what's goin' on

The mouth is the small compass of the soul,
Without dials, true north, or magnetic force,
The ungaugeable instrument of the voice,
In directionless modulations of undertow,
To circumnavigate under cartographer’s pole
Stars guide our wayfinding-heirlooms of words.

and watch resignedly as the red squiggle appears underneath
but with smug satisfaction
i right click
and hit
'add to dictionary'
hah, take that
i am now part of the lexicon
and you can't stop me

Being able to wield
the lexicon
of morality
is not the same
as being
a moral person.

of late the word sources
has featured in an American President's
lexicon
and on the subject of sources
he does like to ramble on and on
and on ....
who are the sources
the unnamed gang
what is the purpose in the sources
wretched clang-a-lang
when will the sources
show the song sheet which they sang
where do these sources
all inconspicuously hang
why oh why are they sources
without any real twang
and
how can we believe sources
who've become estranged from
a reliable fang
