Literary Valentine

In most writing
story is firstborn
then words come
 
but in the poem
Language is born
first and since
 
the story is always
the same it’s just
an excuse for
 
Language to take
center stage
or drive a kayak
 
through meaning’s
white water
for meaning is a
 
kayak’s kayak
which is not what
I started out to say
 
but at first I left the I
out of that last sentence full
disclosure is 75% of the poem today
