I like the way you demonstrate the possibilities for simplicity. The variety of language here sends the reader off in many directions. :-)

Good rhythm and I like the tone each word evokes as it is spoken. Is the last word a typo or is that intentional?

I often feel that my vocabulary is completely insufficient. This feeling comes about most when I'm trying to write poetry. Sometimes finding the right words to fit a certain emotion is trying. I think you accurately described the frustration that comes along with attempting to seek out the right words. Brava.
