One Word In Front of the Other

It's a marvelous and simple way to look at writing. While it may, fundamentally, be true, everyone knows that some things are more than the some of their parts. That being said, the art of writing can be approached in this way... This piece explores this idea and whether it has any value for the philosophical view of writing.

One Word In Front of the Other
Shadoe Lass

How do you write?
Writing is one word in front of the other.
You just keep moving forward.
No matter the taste
No matter the cost
Don’t call it a waste
It’s just one type of walk.
Writing is one pen with tons of colors.
You just switch them one after the other.
No matter what works
Till it changes a life
Just know it for sure
Compensation for strife.
Writing is something more than some of the parts.
It’s more than the sum of the parts.
It’s the art of the hearts as they start
To impart
A belief that they see in their sleep
And repeat
Just a word single word that’s absurd
Heard after
The one before it just before it and implores it
To explore it
With another.
Because writing is just one word

One word in front of the other.
