Speech is an unnatural act,
writing, more so.
I can thread words together
as easily as a needle
passes through cloth.
Finding the right sequence
is paramount in any situation.
It is also important
to know when to minimize
language for maximum effect.
Other situations call
for dizzying displays of rhetorical
elegance which can cause no
doubt as to the skill and intent
of the arranger. When the voice
speaks it can tremble and shake,
giving the impression of weakness
or uncertainty. When the voice
Booms and Towers it can instill
fear or confidence in others.
How great is the task that we have
deemed language fit to carry?
Its burden is a weight beyond
our understanding and root
of misunderstanding.
