A Brief Guide To My Words and Their Meanings

You won’t see these word in a shop window printed across a smiling face, or embossed, engraved, or scribbled; probably not daubed on toilet stall walls yet. They belong to the Net, a pliable device that floats to the top of a running river of white water. If you have the skill to spear fish you might catch one or two, but I am afraid they will not be of much use to you in your life plan, for your nest egg, your spiritual growth or for any healing purposes whatsoever. You may try rubbing your libido with the sounds they make, I do, but of course they, being only words, offer little relief. If you drink strong alcohol (nothing sweet with fruit in it), then you might add them like ice into your glass; for a while they will rattle around your teeth almost pleasantly.
