"Slurangieng Krouchs ...!"
Can I-tinerate
an article of speech
if I spoke
speechless to start?
I not often seek an angle of your
testing
A measured line of thought from you
be as articulate a reply
less so,
if you deducted your thought through
reflection
The left over reply alone
be not so less
as superfulous
as your spelled out
and tested lesson
from your wordless reflection
