Deprogram tongue filled brains
subjected to set weights
of stringed words
calibered convention reigns
wonder where to shop for bargain words...
from a seller of wholesale goods?

teacher spins his wheels
learner signed a language deal
a "Sprach" enters dominance
influences...carries weight
actors absorb new material
paper towels wipe cautious spills
that fill new watersheds
of a defragmented taught code
disciples fumble on trendy modes..

stringed words subject to selection
calibered thoughts face broader reflection
wonder where to bargain for new and used words?
why, a wholeseller of trendy goods!

I would take the used words,
even the rare words
and archaic words
just to breath
life in them
again

Martin,
Now you do have a way with words
and I certainly enjoyed your use of them.

...to see what was said
even so far as to see
the quality of sounds
that became words...

Garysgirl,

Have a good friend named Gary.
Just so curious about the effort that many
people give to acquire a new language
and the culture that goes with it
