Triviality
There are tons of things in the world that really matter.
And then, there are those that make you say, "Who cares?"
I was awakened this morning thinking about the word, 'WANT'.
If one broke down the word WANT, what would it look like?
If one saw the make-up of each letter, what would one see?
Does anyone even care about the individual parts of a word?
Oh, pardon me, my name is Triviality, and people call me Trivia.
Anyway, I was thinking about the four-lettered word, WANT.
I saw two 'Vs' that form the 'W' and two lines that made the 'T'.
The low-capped 't' has a vertical line that is curbed at the end.
The infamous 't' has a much shorter horizontal line crossing
the curbed vertical line just below the top to form a cross. It's
not that I don't have better things to do., but Trevia is my name.
I know. If this thought never crossed my mind, who would even care?
On a side note, the one lone vowel 'a', lives among three consonants.
But hold on; I'm almost finished. There are two crucial letters to go.
Did I tell you that my name was Triviality, and people call me Trivia?
Anyway, to me, the 'a' and the 'n' in caps have a uniqueness about them.
They are quietly sandwiched between the 'w' and the 't' to complete the very desirable word, WANT. The 'a' in caps is an upside down 'V', bridged just above the bottom by a horizontal line. The 'n' in caps is created with two leaning 'Vs', like identical twins, one up and one down. It's not that I WANT to spend my time like this, but what can I say? They call me Trivia.
