Dickinson Shout Out: #1 and 2
A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.
A word is red
When it is said,
Synesthetes say.
I say it just
Begins to blush
That day.
OR
A word is sung
Before it’s said,
Anthropologists proclaim.
I say it just
Becomes a poem
That way.
