how curious
how wonderfully curious
how de-light-full to explore this space
how delicious to reach out and try new things
or better yet really dive into that which is right in front of you
like the word curious
i dig the sound of it
how it just grows out from the middle of my tongue
like a fat bumblebee leaving the hive
try it! say it three times…
i also like the way it looks, all the curves
the cresting wave c
the vessel of the u, holding…what is it holding?
the serpentine s, a road begging for a heavy foot on the pedal
the o, a mouth, a planet, a pomegranate
even the r has a little hook, a riff
funny how the only straight line is the I
hmmm, how curious!
