what to do with this

I read it somewhere, elsewhere: "a nice collection of words... " not written to me, but what if ~ what if I collected words I'm halted in my tracks with concern though my tracks had little movement as I'm still lay in bed my mind had movement until then it recalls how words can haunt somehow, I don't recall the ones that do maybe I banished them ...knock. knock. knock... ahh not banished but placed loosely between pages of an imaginary book should I read any then I'll remember, and... let's not go that way - forget it return back to my place on the track I don't want to collect words a collection is something doing nothing my favoured words I will wear out both on the town and until frayed for those collected saved for best or put out of sight do no favours for anybody just cause wastes of time to stare at an accumulation that should be dragged out and sorted through

I appreciate your humorous words, Di11y. Collecting words is of no use if one doesn't rehabilitate them. I liked that concept of 'rehabilitating words.' Creative. Nicely done, Sara enjoy your evening, Sara

Nice, light, and with a poignant point. Too many words? I am in search of lost words that may possibly be rehabilitated. Thank you for these words on words.

Ahh yes, well I hear some people collect them - perhaps they hold some captive that belong to you? If you see them, try calling their name to see if they recognise you and run over :) thanks for your comment x
