A New Word

A new word is a woman you’ve just met, beautiful and wondrous until you try to make her fit snugly into your sentence. A new word is a restaurant just opened, hoping your eyes will get used to the light, they know how to do steak, their horseradish is homemade, and they too dislike pickles. A new word is a song breaking into the top ten. Either the girls like it or the boys, but seldom both, tapping their fingers. A new word is a surprise party thrown by your lover, where your friends threaten to carouse and debauch before settling into understandings and face-to-face interaction.
