Definitions are circular
and at the end of the day
a word means nothing.
A smile could say more.
A kiss,
for that matter,
could shatter the dictionary
and take us back
to Adam and Eve.
Look, I’m a wordsmith.
I love me some words.
But words are not free.
My gaze could roam
and graze the Earth
a hundred times
from shore to shore
before a word could even reach the door.
So you see,
on this page
I’m playing catch-up
in a rhythmical race
I’ll never win.
But then again,
how do you define
a win?
