2. The Glamour & Glitter of Slang

Its ‘the corner-bar’.
The way these words put together are gunslinging poesy - you say it and you feel good; you say it and you’re there, picturing rain coming down like elephants & tigers outside where the lone 3.30pm Tuesday afternoon drinker imbibes on his fave stool at the corner-bar.
Its the vernacular, the street-sound, the cant.
The power of slang: yours, mine, the village and town along the road, in the next parish
You do what everyone should: own the language you speak.
Slang glitters and throbs like the best of you.
