This modern step of time may turn my phrase- <br />but now attend- see language as bequeathed. <br />What sweep of lines from Homer's waltzing days <br />shall partner me? Stride quick the speech received <br />and kick and om-pah life-for what's now said? <br />Slick greetings (ice!) . Each science calls us names. <br />Blue epithets accuse, while we're all read; <br /> Lear's the rage. Our scripts' drag in stage-left games... <br />But with this dance, this dance that sways in me, <br />new loves may move to touch. Sensations sing. <br />But 'loves'? - steps slip in verbal sophistry- <br />There's never more of every just one thing. <br />Modern terms convey, mostly all polls said, <br />body of knowledge- -bound hard-cover- dead.<br /><br />Glenn Bagshaw<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dancing-with-words/
