Tailored words

If I could paint the words in my head,

would they be blue, or black or red,

would they be soft or jagged-edged,

would they flow free or seem more wedged?

If my words were more than sound,

would they be straight, or be more round,

would they have more than one dimension,

and would they convey their true intention?

If my words could come to life

and live with me as man and wife,

would I wish for a divorce,

or would I want to stay the course?

As my words have no form or shape,

I toss them from me like a cape,

a thing that always fitted loose

a garment I no longer use.

Yet, if my words were tailor-made,

I’d be more worried where they laid,

I’d arrange them careful not to crease,

think twice before they were released.
