words as a service industry

 

I don't suffer from a futility of words

but from the suffrage of meaning.

nuances aside 

is not acceptable comprehension.

the dictionary is a book 

from the death of meaning,

as still shots from the past 

implied to be relevant.

meaning should be slippery and evocative. 

it should take you up into the provocative,

not hammer you 

to the cross of understanding.

we all want wishes, whimsey, 

windy and wings.

words should be flags 

in the breeze for saying it.

meaning should be a levity in an upliftment,

the want for sizzle of the mind-stir,

and thrive of the feelings generated.

sure, one can name the stream 

but not the flow.

one can say whatever as if topically driven

but the adventure is into the source 

who said it.

a conversation is just a ropes-course 

of listening,

if not for the presence of others 

in the discourse.

we all need speak-abouts 

as a way of entry into another,

to find ourselves nested 

vibrationally in another.

as long as language is allegiance 

to that cause,

words may serve us well, 

even if meaning has moments, 

as if words deliver,

but the tonal is blessed 

with the calling wanted,

while words are just a delivery system 

of that means.

if only our ears were that good 

at feeling what is said,

as understanding makes claims 

to extensively comprehend 

the topic at hand . . .
