Chip your tooth on it

...

Pondering the limitations of human vocabulary,

The magnitude and magic of centuries forming

These words

Just for me to string them together like a bracelet.

Real pearls?

Chip your tooth on it to check.

Worth the money, if you had it.

And is this a waste of the lexicon?

Verbose with no purpose or

Will you rummage between the nooks and crannies

To grasp some deeper meaning?

Could be there,

Could be a shallow pit.

Fall in and see.
