Poem: Economy of Words
How many words does it take
to paint a vision for you?
Short, sharp, economical
or long, flowing text?
Which do you prefer?
And how much reality
are you willing to
accept in one siting?
Lies don't have to be lyrical
truth doesn't have to curt
honeyed words have the same effect
as ones that cut to the bone.
So tell me what you can handle
and what you can understand
for life has no patience
for do-overs.
