"What it Means'


“What it Means”

9/26/14

We have a dictionary
exploding with meanings
creative and mundane
words for almost all
good, bright and dull
lost somewhere there
gathering dust normal
unknown to the young
clicking a key today
typing some letters
and thus a definition
what it means deafening
whatever one wants
no longer relative
and a Russian poet
smiles in his grave
words without meanings
only what’s chosen today
had we once a dictionary!
