    graphospasm
    noctivagant
    escritoire
    rugose
    siffilates
    weltanschauung
    duncical,

    WTF!

    I don't really dare. :P

    What I umderstood without looking for a dictionary is that some might think is a nonsense but really behind some nonsense there is sense.

    An old man, wrinkled is his face
    sitting behind a uge desk
    his hands are cramping from the the writing
    the world does not make any sense
    yet he is not stuid
    being halfway grazy, make it halfway liveable
    I could be wrong

    LMAO at luceros comment....

    Matt I really admire you for using new and bigger words and putting them into your poem!! However, sometimes too many big words is too much. You don't want it to ever take away from the beauty or flow of the poem, which I think in the first stanza it did....

    However, when translating the words, I do love the idea behind this poem! Your mind is so brilliant I love it!
