are the open way of thinking

that use the patterns of the way

I motion with language

breathe like the way I amass

sometimes air

in my insides

carry heavy weight

like the having to good

ideas write

don’t like boy’s really

moving body of questions

that form tower of answers

eagerly want

to beat

the others

forge

toward

others

go

yonder

hang

impact

the wanting

words

jump from one

thought

to the next

kettle

like

fish

lavish like talking

people if they doctor

the words

master

language

openly

navigate

words toward

meaning

operate the machine

landing the thoughts amazing

that they don’t fall apart

pave

the wanting

road

question

wanting

really ask

more

questions

slant

with peeving

typing

tire to something

that rolls

with the road

use

people

to answer

vortex the void

and assembles

gathering words

water

thoughts

like rain

exit the door of cold

raying water

other is the way

yesses

the yonder  

zoning the word and

uses the idea

to language everything
