Let’s talk about text, baby.

about the subtext,
pretext, and re-text
involved in a contextual relationship:

ingoing
outgoing

bad text
rough text
text so good, you can’t text it

ingoing
outgoing
ingoing
outgoing

text in the morning,
the afternoon,
at night
textual delight.

textual feeling
textual healing
textually appealing
body text

naughty text
texting constantly
to get the textual reaction
then the (hopefully) eventual textual satisfaction
of being textually active.

Let’s talk about the textuality involved
in texting too much, too quickly:

texts proposing love
texts proposing texts

text on boat or text in box
Dr. Seuss style, text with fox (insert winking emoticon here)

group text
private text
text she wasn’t supposed to know about

repeated text

ingoing
outgoing
ongoing

text you failed to send
text break
text mend

text you think is simple,
but is definitely complicated

text meant to deceive
text she never received

text you wish you never texted

delete
delete
delete

text you forget you texted
until she sees it
(let’s just say…it is textually inappropriate).

Let’s talk about text, baby.
