“Infliberant” is a word I heard in a dream.
I’m not really sure what it means.
It’s not in the dictionary.
And it’s not “googlable,”
which isn’t a word, either.
So why did this not-a-word
enter my consciousness,
DEMANDING to be looked up?
Why is this not-a-word
INSISTING on becoming a thing?
Such an infliberant behavior
for something that is no-thing.
But alas, infliberant
is no longer no-thing,
for it means something,
if only to me.
I just assigned meaning to infliberant.
What, if anything,
does infliberant mean to you?
