He wanted to write something
taut, concise, brief,
but then he, being old, repeated
himself and wrote it again
and it became a tautology,
the practice of briefly written
things repeated
in different words in the
same phrase.
Desiring so, he wanted to write something
taut, tight, concise, brief,
but then he, being old, repeated
himself again and again and wrote it again
and it became a tautology,
the practice of briefly written
things repeated
in some different words in
the very same phrase.
May I please get out of here?
May I please get out of here now?
Sure.
Surely.
Goodbye.
Goodbye then.
Am I repeating myself?
Am I repeating and saying the
same thing in a few different
words again?
Does this have something to
do with age?
Does this thing here have
to do with, is related to
age, getting older,
growing gray?
What do you say?
I wrote this myself.
Well, why didn’t I
say so in the beginning
when I first started
writing that all by
myself without any
help from anyone
else, meaning others?
Taut but not tight
is becoming every which
way but mostly loose
and not taut or tight
at all.
I could have said
that I wanted to
write something short
and do it, but it’s
spring and words
are like rabbits.
