Low Tone


Things we say we make:

a difference
a date
a dance
a baby
a pee pee
a poopee
a name for ourselves

whoopee
love
war
bread
out
up

for the hills

Most of these, without much effort at all. Some, in spite of trying not to. What am I missing?

Emily Dickinson says, "Tell the truth but tell it slant." Slant is style, or refraction. Artists! Never assume that style itself has a certain life expectancy - or that it has a life, or that it is even a thing. I'd much sooner believe a difference is a thing.
