\nthe right word, when it finally arrives,
\nand the blank space, the silence the right word fills,
\nand then there\u2019s the pattern the filled-in space is part of\u00a0 —
\nthe pattern that needed the right word to happen
\nand the reason we needed that word
\nin the first place,
\nbut it\u2019s rarely that simple.<\/p>\n
