Wordishly

I've been told
In so many words
That I'm a little wordish
Is that the word that was used?
Perhaps not
But it seems an ample metaphor
For when everything that "comes up"
Is a cliché
And that feels like a problem
One must "make up"
Another word
So what does it mean?
Its essential meaning
Is its essential purpose
To search for a word
And bring up new ones
Extending and extending
The available dictionary
From Oxford
To Oslo
To Oregon
To oceans
Swimming
And walking
Mostly musing
Sniffing the wind
Looking for inspiration
To land on the letters
Of the next word
In this book-length paragraph
That is a single human life
In so many words
