She split
infinitives
with wild abandon
and asked small favors
of lost dogs and angels
that congregated under
broken umbrellas,
chewing dates.
They would smile at her
in their knowing sort of way
and brush her requests to the ground
like brushing crumbs
off an armani suit.
But enough
with these weak descriptors
let us simply gather this story
in a tangled bundle
and run.
Steal the plot and abundance
of unspoken metaphors
from this scene of inspiration
and leave - the greatest
word pirates of all time
