Let's hear the music first and foremost,
And that means no more one-two-one-twos...
Something more vague instead, something lighter
Dissolving in air, weightless as air.
When you choose your words, no need to search
In strict dictionaries for pinpoint
Definitions. Better the subtle
And heady Songs of Imprecision. (Paul Verlaine)
