Enchanted by a witty turn of phrase
my hand delays, mid-hover, on the page,
as I reread the sentence. It conveys
so much in so few words. Were this a stage
a thespian would surely mouth it off,
the weight of every syllable in gold.
Enunciate each snicker, every scoff.
Performance captured, never getting old,
a highlight reel on YouTube, played, replayed,
the hearts and likes to mingle with applause,
and Googled if mistakenly waylaid,
then bookmarked, or on tab, on playback pause,
available and ready to be shown…
The phrase, of course, entirely my own.
