put that same word in your mouth or in the playground of a poem and a word becomes a completely different animal pinned down on a page with wings and little black legs dried and brittle the smell of study on its breath a word doesn't mean much

Syntaxonomy

pinned down
on a page
with wings
and little
black legs
dried and
brittle
the smell
of study
on its breath
a word
doesn’t mean
much

put that
same word
in your
mouth
or in the
playground
of a poem
and a word
becomes
a completely
different
animal
