We all eat and shit words.

Let's go on a common denominator hunt:
there is food
water and sleep
perhaps desire, perhaps pain
and death.

How to get to a place
an understanding place
of the above?

How did the list begin
to begin with?
I smell words.

The seem to be a quencher,
a zoologist,
a mechanism for identification,
a nutrition. 

These letterkinnies 
make kin from sin and good and fire,
a four-directional compass
to say what north might mean.
