bring me your youth in a jar
—Kevin Killian
If I were to relate this to myself,
as I sit here next to a bright red
package of 20 hypoallergenic
Wet Ones.
Words...evoke
inarticulate things.
—Rachel Blau DuPlessis
I’m sort of putting words in
her
mouth. Just by leaving a few out.
So to speak. Or maybe not.
It learned to hide from the hungry ones.
—Shel
Silverstein
Which is more to the point.
So bring me your mouth,
youth!
Bring me all of your words
in a jar.
