"Ordinary life does not interest me. I seek only the high moments. I am in accord with the surrealists, searching for the marvelous." ~Anais Nin

Spendthrift

I don't believe in an economy of words.
There is no limit,
No line,
No max. 
Feel free to fritter,
To lavish and splurge.
Use a thousand to paint a picture,
And then a thousand more,
Just to.
Conspicuously consume confabulations.
Have a tête-à-tête,
A dialog,
A chat
On me.
Spill your heart,
Or talk of nothing.
Write,
Sing,
Sign,
Say.
Pledge, vow, guarantee.
I don't believe in an economy of words,
So, for now, 
The words are on me.
