Word Sexy

Words with many
syllables, seductive
like erotica that
works on the various
compartments of the
brain, unlocking them
to each other. An incantation:
a word with more than
three beats.

Is my prerogative better
than your way? Is it
better to be luminescent
than bright? Yes, and
no. Affirmative and
negative. The music
wants what it wants.

But to call it more than that?
To need it
for more than that?
Roll them on your tongue
awhile, big sexy words,
and tell me it has nothing to do
with sound and heat.
