Dissecting Words

Excuse me...
I dis - sect   words!
That's part of my job...I also do it for fun.

That's part of my background...
I tear at words, and put them under a magnifying glass.
The 'literary grounding' is as strong as instinct.

So...if you use words...
either randomly or whimsically...
or for whatever reason you say...
I'll look at them and wonder...

Words...
have power....
to lift, to break,
to enlighten, to confuse
to praise, to condemn

Words...are used for a purpose
Literally....figuratively...
Your words...no matter how convoluted or straightforward
Reveal a lot more than what you want to hide.

So I know...
though I may not fully understand...
What you mean...
