All kinds of words to qualify what we say,
puffs and pile-ups of sense and sensibility,
but without which this world would have no color
and actions would flounder and end without shade
or grade. Adjectives and adverbs re-measuring
the thread are often judged to be the difference
between Hemingwayesque and Proustian.
The economists are journalists describing the grim.
That said, sometimes this is the very thing
you are describing….verily. But then there are times
when you must surrender to a description, to feel
something fastidiously, like the strike of a match
flaming in the gold uncommon, a salient heat
against the manifold, red-fingered blues.
