Alphabetized Abstractions.

Alphabetized Abstractions.

By Bahr

Speech is a steady line

It flows from one end to another in ruminating conjunction 

Just as one queues in line for a ticket

The words ponder in 

Placed in a pattern so brisk but thin 

Yet, in due time each tongue grows an aberration 

A cyst lodged towards one’s teeth 

It unfurls into a curve, spreading an icy heat

It marvels beyond the momentary pauses 

And cuts through the time 

It is in fact a mark or a scar if you’d like 

Query as you will of what it may be 

Because even with the tug of conversation, 

Or pull of sound 

The cyst will remain so heavenly bound.
