Careless words
could be made useful
if fed
to shredder who'll
grind and chew
recycle
transform
redeem as
confetti for compost
like straw into gold
Instead they hide
disguised politely
as folded innocence
a lotus blossom
perhaps a fan
decorating table
placed pretty and polite
waiting at the ready
to catch
embarrassing drip

"Eating Words" captures it all well.
hide disguised politely
... I like that string of meaning and its sound.
Blessings.
if only our words would be sweet for when we have to eat them ...
Love the imagery and the idea in this one -- and I agree with Susan -- wouldn't that be wonderful!
careless confetti compost cultivates cash crop
