Every sentence is a puzzle,
A challenge for skilled gamers.
Diagrammed, it presents an angular web
A Mondrian or constructivist painting.
It is a game of dominoes
Building pattern on pattern.
It is a macrame tapestry
With modifiers providing the dangling fringe.
The game board is full of ups and downs–
With slides, full stops, somersaults and leaps.
It is the X-Game for grammar skateboards,
An intricate and daring parkour for words.
