“Semantics”

“Semantics”

If there was a word to describe the you of you, I’d write it down with earnestness.

So I could, underline and italicize it.

There would be a place to point, an origin.

Words are born of the necessity to term things.

Terming the you of you proves difficult.

What would be the word that terms a word that is unable to be termed?

Insert your name here____________.

An antonym, a cinnamon synonym.

Metaphorical simile, hard to see.

Albeit, being.

Definition, high.

Confounded by the mystery,

inexplicable novelty.

A word for the you of you,

seems fleeting.

Yet, worth pursuit.

When I dream the dream of that word,

the you of you appears.
