I'm currently reading 'Little Dorrit'
By Charles Dickens, and though it's long, of course
Like when I read 'Nicholas Nickleby' it
Is really engaging me. It's like verse
In prose, there's so much in each line. How does
He do it, and maintain it for that long?
I don't know, but to do that, he just must
Be able to write natural and strong
In real time, as his brain thinks like birdsong
Instinctive, beautiful sound, quickly writ
And with immense wit throughout, and discourse
Social, political, all things are brung
Clothes, rooms, characters, manners that predate
The camera, thought development process
