• Like a vivid interpretaton of the malformations
    of the human genome
    words show our true nature
    Words have brought entire nations to rally and riot
    without real reason
    but the resonance of the rambunctious races of humanity rave on
    At the first brushstroke,
    you fall to your knees at the beauty
    of something so simple said through the sick mouth of a sinner
    because words will move you
    like an earthquake in the Caribbean
    like a hurricane in the bayou
    until crawdads bounce off buildings and billboards
    that boast boisterous banality
    and then all is still
    from the charge of another word
    A word so skillfully designed to flow with all others
    til you discover its magnitude and conjure respect
    This word, when painted in watercolor,
    blends with pastel adjectives,
    acryllic verbs, crayon adverbs, and pencil-etched exclaimations
    This word has been revised through the eyes
    of those who denied
    but ultimately it stands fast
    No Mona Lisa smile could outshine,
    No great statue could ever out think,
    No melted clock could ever outlast,
    my Words
