Expired Dictionaries

Webster's curdles after
three days and Random
House has mold on top.
Oxford's English, fortified,
can last a couple weeks. 
Airy diction needs go 
out; strictures go fiction
in constraint. So, words
only exist for a sec, a
Wittgenstein minute,
these little sins, forgivable
when composted in the
reset pile, are purgatory
marks when kept frozen
in hard covered amber.
