Without Thee (an acrimonious analysis)

[tectak]

How uncanny,
to think of
a world sans toi -
purgation of punctuation
could not inflict
such conspicuous havoc.

Contractions, no doubt,
would concur with
controlling our cant
(historically, individually rapt),
without our common
familiar to assist us at this
idiomatic loom, on which
is spun a yard of yarns -
impractically, magically.

A dictionary, null,
a vocabulary void;
why, I can hardly stomach
what limns now infract,
dissonantly, upon my vision
and aural canals . . .
Ach! Otalgia!

Hi tt,
Congratulations...this is worthy. Some may say wordy but what else is there?
Lingua in maxillam perhaps, but faultless in its genre, and so a calculated triumph of completion over concept...I like it very much.
"common familiar"...the witch's friend? This is a puzzle but I am confident of an acceptable explanation. Haven't heard limns since my english tutor described the new phenomena of toilet wall poetry back in the 60's.
Very good....
Best,
tectak
