capitalization raze For so long I've neglected the longer ligaments of my language in this red realm. I shave everything down so it's the same size. Decapitate the tallest timber and wrap my arms around a bole still too broad for my body to bind. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I reintroduced those discarded uppercase characters. Stopped dotting my i's and gave them a sturdy base and a delicate tarpaulin to keep the sun from scorching their eyes. Would my voice still sound the same when it bounces off these walls? Would those who know me well insist that isn't me at all? I weigh my words like lover's breath. Whisper each one before letting it go. Watch the whole hoard of them hiss and gurgle and grow. Fight and fail to subdue the monster I've made. And ask myself as its teeth tear my flesh if this was a worthwhile experiment or just another misstep in a life littered with flawed footwork and homespun tripping hazards. 260403 what's it to you? who go blather from
