Why I Write, Part x+209: I Love Words

I love words that are their own opposites,
That contradict their own meanings.
“To cleave” means both to cut and to cling,
But my favorite is “nebulous,” hard to define,
Which I just did, in hardly even trying,
Besides which, that one's fun to say.
It's this writer's holy grail.
