You seek solace in idioms and run smack into a blank stare . . .
The exigencies of Helvetica provide little comfort
as you stalk the caveats of typographers
and the roadworthiness of long distance scribblers
who are here for the free ride . . .
A typeface with élan will spring you from ubiquity
and into the world of graphic comics
where a curve is a curve at your beck and call
and the moon ready willing and able to deliver the latest
in fashionable footwear . . .
And you thought perhaps this was make-believe? . . .
A pretend-pudding if you will? . . .
Buying into that sort of gaga could spell onomatopoeia
and a trip to the mall rivaling Rimbaud's A Season in Hell . . .
