Help!
Help me!
I’m being attacked.
Intimidated. Violated. Invaded.
The words.
They’ve ganged up on me.
They've crowded my eyes,
cut off my exits, used letters and letters in data-stream barriers.
They’ve hidden round corners.
Waited to stab me with rogue hyphens and dashes
a swift noun in the ribs and it's ashes to ashes.
They’re at it out there. The slippery fuckers. Can’t grab them because they’re all bent at the corners. Hammered convenience. Beat into proformas.
Why aren’t they unwieldy (adj.) no more? Do they have to slip by by a slip of the tongue? ASAP TBC TBA TMI WTF?
Why can’t we perambulate and transmogrify? I could catch them all then but they're FUBAR by now. :)
They’re burying me.
Shoving down shovelfuls of acronym soiling. Are we now evoluting or just deconstructing? Just how heavy's elision? Elysian field? Semantic field? Sheffield?
They’''re strewn through generation,
kicking my head in like vikings and frenchMen
stretching beyond meaning bringing seismic shifts opeNing puncture wounds dripping with dynamics and (con.) actives, gradually dying dieing ¿dieting?
I’m fading. Flighting. Leafed through, eroding. The evLOLution of self, shove selfies in pages that eat at our bedrock interesting adverb non-cliched simile pronoun verb ådverb preposition definite article concrete nôun dental labial glottal alveolar me me me ka ka ka ka fricative fricative mumumumumum d d d d .......
ROFL.
