Anglosaurus RexI'm a linguistic predator prowling jungles of thought Sneaking up on diminutive words ready to catch nuances unsought I love to tear apart novel beliefs & sink my teeth into fresh ideas I enjoy clawing at semantic themes & chomping on what others hold dear Some complain I'm heartless They simply do not see the light: I merely devour odd words to make a more efficient lexicon in which dominant ideas flourish while eccentric ones cower in fright |
