my words are but finery,
for they don't shine like
shiney. my words are
but finery, for they are
plain and don't sing.
my words are but finery
for your words spew
like broken petals to the
ground, soft and soundless,
while mine thrash against
the ground like bullets,
bang! bang! and there they end.
