Lexical Stress

By John J. Ronan

Lexical Stress
He desires the pretty object.
She objects.
He treasures his DSP complex.
She says you’re barely complex.
With incense, incense: faith and rage,
They teeter on a parable’s edge.
As in: Exploit. Exploit.
Subject. Subject.
Consort. Consort.
Be wise and cautious when you invent
The lexical self. Later, you’ll be content.
