# 246: Web


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!
