Poem: On Certain Words, Using Them in a Sentence
Posted: February 5, 2013 Filed under: Discovery, Enthusiasms 1 Comment »I can use the word deleterious in a sentence
but only while describing the effect upon me
of the video I recently saw
of a man dressed entirely in khaki
attempting to reproduce in a sexual way
with his monthly statement or whatever.
I can use the word phlegmatic in a sentence
but only while admitting publicly
to a years-long correspondence I had
with a female escort
who promotes her services primarily
by means of an Angelfire account.
I can use the word impecunious in a sentence
but only in the midst of explaining
to a kinda busy toll-booth attendant
the sense of melancholy I experience
whenever a woman touches her breast
to a soldier’s wound
because she thinks it’ll heal instantly
as opposed to just permitting
actually trained medical personnel
to treat the injured party sans delay.


Mr. Cistuli, did the homeless person stare in a phlegmatic manner as you attempted (and failed) to humorously and without being deleterious comment on the impecurious nature of being homeless? Oh, and does Angelfire still exist?
