Words that Confuse Time and Fall Off Pages

Where do the words come from?

As they slip 

and lisp from 

deep places 

and twist into sounds.

As they arise from 

inhabited thoughts 

that are illusions and 

illusive interruptions 

of space. 

And they have 

the capacity 

to bite and cut 

and jab into 

soft fleshy realities, 

while multiplying 

and propagating 

into overpopulated emotions 

and anxious breaths. 

What are words

but outbreaks of 

viruses that contaminate, 

confuse and 

consume time 

with their prolific 

verses and stanzas. 

Their offspring 

committing suicides by 

falling off pages 

too small 

to 

contain 

them.
