speaking with you

what is the word for...?

To construct a crossword puzzle, you first
select the grid, pick words that
fit. It’s only afterwards that
you word the clues –
the things that
solvers notice
first.

To construct a conversation with you, first
I inject meaning into utterances that
are communicable in your language,
building the sense of
each sentence from
the inside
out.

    Thank you! It was one of those things that came out of nowhere when mulling over the day’s prompt. It surprised me, anyway!
