A satirical sonnet about small talk and big words OF DEFINITIONS REDEFINED As chitchat swirls like a newborn rain cloud, I sit beneath an umbrella mushroom which, with its large mouth, saves me from the crowd. I escape with my sanity...or so I assume. For what, indeed, defines this hard-sought trait? Can it be a vilipenditory vocabulary? Some who, through logolepsy, define love and hate? Again, I avoid this fatality... For words twisted will twist minds, incurring the evanesce of our very definitions. However, a break in the monotonous chatter often finds: a breath of fresh enlightenment. New depictions. Or-- A new sense of rule breaking. In risk-taking. In being alive. ____________________________________________ vilipenditory: disparaging, belittling logolepsy: obsession with words evanesce: to disappear gradually |
