Stay away from this man
People who like to hear themselves talk for no other purpose than that use a lot of superlatives, a lot of imperatives, a lot of meta-talk. They speak at, not to.
I will tell you. Let me tell you. Listen to this. Your biggest mistake was. Stay. Away. From this man. This was your biggest mistake. Let me tell you. Stay away from this man. I'm telling you stay. Away from this man. Your biggest mistake.
These talkers also repeat themselves, viral phrases and variations of, so many times that meaning dissolves utterly. These talkers cling sadly, insect-slime to their words, not knowing what else to do in speech, in life, a backward attempt to stamp their identity into someone else's for worth's sake, no matter that it's with desperately empty vessels. Sad bodies on lonely barstools.
This is their biggest mistake, their easiest crutch, their most dreadful closet the safe side of risk.
It is happening again.
It is happening again.
Its body is swollen with fever.

meta-talk. stunning. if dreams had words, they would read just like this. and if they had voices, they would speak with a lot of glottal stops.
i would like to hear that, the abundance of glottal stops, dream-style.
i like to write. when i come across a great word, i want to add it to my work, whether or not i've already used many other good words
