Take a scalpel to a word.
Slice it into parts.
sh … don’t speak.
don’t act.
hide behind.
duck and
shiver.
ou … phonetic vacillation
complaisant
tongue
lips half pursed
pouting
ld … one
sharp edge
looking
backward,
dulled by
a silent partner.
This word has no will.
It is a regretful doorstop.
Excise it.
