I sometimes look up
the meaning of words ,
words that I already know
words that are well acquainted with me ,
my use of them has
a purpose a plan and outcome ;
I’d rather not waste them
nor I feel do they gain
much satisfaction knowing that
my making use of them
might be somehow construed
as frivolous or trivial ;
I sometimes look up
the meaning of words ,
not out of any doubt as
to recalling their precise meaning or use ,
but rather to reassure myself
of how well stocked my arsenal is .
