< words >
and words come
in most shapes and sizes
and words say
what they shouldn't
(and what they should)
and words
can be said by anybody
(and their sister and brother
and neighbor and mother)
and words
(though you imprison them
and torture them
and even
ignore them)
will always
be said

Were words born screaming, heart exposed
phone lines open
website ready
how long would they survive?
I know words who barely whisper,
silenced by dust and dark; their voices
transfer only through fingertips
It could be worse

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.

"Your taction's* interaction's... satisfaction."
equates to:
"Leanne's last stanza which non-verbally pronounces that the transfer of the meaning of many
subtle words is conveyed by the metaphorical touch of fingertips brings me great satisfaction."
I know words who barely whisper,
silenced by dust and dark; their voices
transfer only through fingertips.
*And from where did I acquire this word for my vocabulary? From the pitiless
New York Times Crossword.
(Probably from Saturday or Sunday as these are the oftenest demoniac.)
P.S. The animal image is the actual title of the poem:
Wallaby
Otter
Raccoon
Ducklings
Squirrel
Yet another profound level of meaning explicated.

Intelligent people, conversely, quickly learn to disbelieve what they comprehend. (I'm told.)

Cute animals are worth a thousand pictures... nay, they are priceless (and wordless).
And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these.

Yes, our syntax blinds us to our words.
(Glad you liked my poem.
