Transcription

When it comes to words, they are worth more than the sum of their parts when in the company of their brothers and sisters— much like ourselves. Three words sought, three words got: You Are Awesome. Beyond three words, we have been given a clause, independent, beyond a clause, independent, we have been given a sentence here on the sky lawn of the Intercontinental—aren't we prosperous, indeed? For beyond any mere morphemes or phonemes or syntax or grammar, I have been afforded a kindness, I have been given goodness, and what could be better than this? The intercontinental is a fine place for interconnectedness, and a fine place for poems, but today it has become even more awesome and awe inspiring than all this, for me!
