That was a surprisingly prosaic way to communicate this feeling, are you by chance a writer? If not, you should write more!
Of writing, prosaic means unpoetic, i.e. dull.
Oh, my mistake! I've always (incorrectly) thought it meant "being prose-ful" or "reminiscent of poetic prose". My intention was to compliment @burnished's writing :P
He might just be Buster Scruggs' less melodious & more bookish brother.
