YOU CAN CALL ME SAL

Language
at the speed of experience.

Now now now—
relentless.

Laughter at the pitch of
ecstasy.

Tickled—til
defenseless.

A visceral effusion
is a.k.a. coughing,

a genius
all the time—singing

ta-ra-ra boom de-ay!
over and over.

Paradise aside,
though,

and back
in our drab houses, let's

face facts,
man: wow

means absolutely
nothing.
