How many words do you have to write before what you have written has never been written before?


Lemon poltergeist
Got it in two -
At least according to 
Google who knows all
About the digital world.

But what of the millennia
Before the internet?
Did some child in 
A distant town 
In a far away time
Utter without understanding
These exact words?

Or was it the code-name
Of a Russian spy
With a penchant
For English mysticism 
And a love of citrus?

Maybe a dying 
Colonist at the 
End of his tether
After yet one more
Year watching 
His trees and dreams
Wither.

Two words seem
Unlikely.
The real challenge
Would be to create 
New meaning
From only one

Prodrigue
