An almost-perfect poem in neat copperplate
Tripped
By a word. A single word.
Pulled out from a shabdakosh, a language dictionary
unused tome dusted, the alphabets scrambled for, hazily
magnifying lens scanning the letters, impatient
just a single word
the entire color changes, somber

very humbling too, to know how much you don't.
