Cruising the Word Bar

 

I am The Word

you desire.

(I flirt with my caps.)

 

I am The Word

to nestle

in your line, The Word

to exhilarate

your poem.

 

You toy with another,

clearly not your type: bad

diction, too many syllables.

 

Don’t settle

for second best.

Consult Roget, find

a synonym for assignation.

 

Let your eyes explore

other possibilities. Run

your finger down

the column. Lower … 

lower … lower … ah … tryst.

The Word!

 

I’m so excited my vowel

is aquiver. Yes, I’d love

for you to ply me with ink.
