Response to a GIF prompt by Drew
I throw words at the wall
And see what sticks
And it clings similarly to dry spaghetti
Does that make sense?
If you’re following me, then nod.
I struggle with words
Like I struggle with bowling balls
Once I send them off
They never seem to hit quite right
Language itself is a sport
Where meaning is the ball
Words are the sticks
And someone else’s prior experiences are an invisible goal
I have to guess the location of the goal
The sticks are all different shapes and sizes
The ball is actually a box
My teammates never made practice
There weren’t even tryouts
Noone ever plays home-field
The Jumbotron is actually social tension
The audience wants you to lose
And the referees cost 175 dollars an hour
Does that make sense?
If you’re following me, then nod.
