As Inglese burgeons into insurmountable clouds
of cut and paste and blah and slop accumulated -
wordiness without genesis or revelation,
separated from the tongues that made words live -
English yet continues its normal pick and choose
in the regular plays of everyday use and notice.
Swish and lush and blunt its ways, Always
Immediate,
needful and inventive and Apposite Instantly
the language of tireless folk like you and I
wanting the right verb, as we step from here to
there
serving up the complementary pun or compliment,
self-possessed with our own meanings, Ageless
Idioms,
private and peculiar, public and purposeful
as words will do, as only certain words will do.
