Heck

It’s a safeword to protect from taboo,
A bit of a net to catch your enthusiasm.
When someone is getting mad at you,
Heck, the only rhyming word I can think of is spasm.

You already see what I did there.
You’re quite the perceptor.
It was a simple prompt, to be fair,
But I try to be a perfector.

So I write about this word, this snippet of language.
And I write about me writing, infinitely looped,
What the heck even rhymes with language?
Through this work, you’ve been duped.

Find the real meaning, the real message within it.
I’m a real detective, I could find it in a minute.
