rubato: intentionally and temporarily not in strict tempo
[
Italian, stolen]
amok: a frenzy to kill
[
Malay, amoq]
so nice
still,
Webster's old attempts
to keep certain words away from me
are not forgotten
like 'canoodle'
and 'godemiche'
and 'homeomorphism'
and 'fatwah'
which I cannot now spell
nevertheless i grok
and where else can you find such divinely
athematic poetry
of the American Language?
also 'jotoburg'
and 'butt-master'
cough it up, Webister!
