#1

the words

we have

for what we have

are ugly

words

#2

so everyday, we set about in the inhumanly impossible attempt to find new words

that are not so ugly

so that what we have is also not so ugly anymore

#3

not ugly but ripificent

not ugly but magundulating

not ugly but wholelating

not ugly but wholeling

not ugly but dazzolid

not ugly but souling

not ugly but movesoulment

not ugly but spiritousness

not ugly but verdancleansess

not ugly but cleanulent

not ugly but mineallmine

#4

and these new words build new roads

to places we'd forgotten we love

#5

when we find ourselves there

in these new/old places

we may be shocked

by how much they have changed

#6

sometimes we have to get lost

get directions

go off the beaten - i said, the beaten

path

#7

but this journey

takes us - is always taking us -

back

to what we have

and what

we have

is everything
