   Scattered tiles
   of letters dance
   into words, displaced
   and replaced symbols
   composed of strange markings
   we only are able to imagine
   when we are able to believe
   in the randomness
   of the connection
   of the page

   Returning to the Tax Adventure

   Re-turned
   So you were already turned
   Your head, whipped left, by your neck
   Who we all know really steers this ship
   Many happy returns
   And yet you can never go back
   To the same place twice
   That river ship has sailed
   And any return is taxing
   Stacked tiles of returns
   That tumble with a whisper of breeze
   Tiles tilting at the window
   Hoping to catch a glimpse of the wind
   Another windmill, another town over
   Another X for the tax man
   Another disappointing return for the adventurer

   In School

   they said
   you could break down
   all languages
   to little pieces
   and then no more.

   they said
   people put them
   back together
   when they needed
   different words.

   How, I wondered,
   could they tell me
   all the wondrous things
   those sounds could do
   then mark my new ones
   wrong?

   they tried to tell me
   how the world worked
   but they showed me.

   Pull from the pile some letters at random.
   Some with high value do have a large fandom.
   In this game”any word” just cannot do
   Not even if it totally pleases you.
   The game has harsh rules, requiring words cross.
   No religious symbol, but pray if you can’t stand a loss.
