What a Word Can Be

Wordplay

Thuh word is not the word. It never is.
Thuh word (,) is the lips that cage the tongue.

Thuh word starts here, climbs there, and exits here.
God spoke thuh word, and everything was words.

Words are like a smile in a sandstorm,
what you have is grit in your teeth. My arm

is like a word. It bends when I tell it,
and when I do not, it bends anyway.

The words are all blanks-- all sound and fury
that spit in rich people's soups to make taste.

Some words have ranks like the military:
Thuh F-Word, thuh S-Word, thuh C-word…

Thuh word Word comes from Greek, meaning Logos.
Plato had a plucked chicken chucked at him,

Over his fence, because of the Man word.
Swordplay is wordplay, with more viciousness.
