What Can't Be Said
What Can't Be Unsaid
Unspeakably descriptive
A word held in tight
Indeterminably vague
Its utterance is contradiction
***
Used to describe the horrors
The heinous, the despicable, the tragic
It is unmentionable for everyone
Except the intrepid lexicographers
***
You can't just go around
Saying what you can't get around
People will run away
For their very lives than say
***
The word I can't say
Without contradicting myself
Is more than unspeakable, unmentionable, or covertly un-F'able
It's overtly ineffable.
