Table Talk

[If we assign elements to a periodic

table why not do the same for words?]

Mortalityum: a silvery-metal word that

runs downhill yet stays together until it

hits the valley where it pools and displaces

darkness by mirroring the spectacular night sky

until those who care to question congregate

with bowed heads, say ah and amen – and 

block the light altogether.

Saucibum:  which looks good both coming

and going and sits elegantly between

Foldingchairium and the white sofa of

Crossleggedium.  In certain situations this

is a very active Imlookingatyou  catalyst and

fills in the middle part of the you ought

to know better vocabulary.

Todlerite: an unstable word with an unknown

life span that smells of talcum powder

and should be treated with care.  Caution: 

In its teen state this word can drive you crazy,

but later can produce more Todlerite which

quite unexpectedly looks familiar and engenders

great joy in women and makes grumpy old men

smile up their sleeves.
