English, French or Spanish,

Words are incurably clannish.

We only feel safe in sentences,

And give each other nuances

For Christmas.

Why be an exclamation?

Risk misinterpretation?

No – find a nice conjunction

To hold your hand and function

As an isthmus.

A trendy new anthology

We shun with no apology.

So its by some sort of savant?

Dicey – and I bet we haven’t

Missed much.
