Velvet waves of words in cascades washing over
me, causing pain, I stopped reading when it was
conclusively proven the missives were not inten-
ded to contain significant meaning
Were just a word game you played after mastering
the technique of speech, you gurgled like a baby
enjoying the romance with your newly born self,
charming all who came to admire you
While I mistakenly thought the meaning I saw
was inherent in your thoughts - only to learn
to my chagrin that I added the meaning and
importance to what I saw
You were just delighted that your thrilling song
could entice and seduce without your having
to think about anything at all…
