Sometimes the words mean nothing,
nothing but wonder
that the language can communicate at all,
magic in the transmutational ability to work
one sentence into sensational otherness.

Words can do this.
Words can move our mouths from one mess of meanings
elsewhere
and make meaninglessness
less meaningless.

Sometimes the words are there
and the sense has to be stretched

somewhat
so that the use
can be appreciated
by someone.

Sometimes the words be.
