Bite Me

Bite Me

    All Words
Have Multiple Meanings.
Some Of Them Worse
   Than Most.

When They Try To Say
What They're Meant
To Convey, Their
Intention(s) May Be
      Lost.

In Con-Text and 
Comb-I-Nation They Fly
Where Meanings
     Multiply...

You 'Sight' What's Said
In Dreams Ahead,
You Love Those
  Loving Lies.

When You Read It
Like I Wouldn't,
You Know, Like You 
 Have A Choice:

You Write Whatever
You're Reading With
   Your Own
 Peculiar Voice.

I Want You To Read It
 Right, You Know?
Then I Want You 
 To Read It Wrong.

The Truth Ahead
Is What Was Said,
'Though Missing
   All Along.
