Three Words

I wanted to write a book

when I was younger

Bigger than The Entire Encyclopedia Britannica

More Important than Einstein's Theory of Relativity

as World Changing as The Gospels of Luke John Mark Matthew

and The Epistles of Paul

Now I just want to write one good word

followed by another

and another

Just three that go along together well

like

I Love You

or 

I Hate You

or 

Oh My God

something

original

but

familiar

like

Let's Fuck

(the 's being a second word, more powerful in its suggestion. 's could be Us or So What or even Salad. 's can mean more than one, or maybe more than one time, or s as in single or small serving or simple. at this point in my life i'd be happy to either create or experience an 's, full of meaning and apostrophic doubt as it is, but it has already been done)

I like to think that if someone came across my three words, perfectly chosen and perfect in order

they would

feel an epiphany

as though a cat walked over their brain

a new

understanding of the meaning

of the universe

and their place in 

it.

I had so many words planned

and so many planned words

but they all drifted away

like children who grow up and move to 

Montreal

or 

maybe Barcelona

and I hope there is a god

capitalized or not

who will feel sorry for me

and give me

my

three 

words
