I like how words go, and I really like the idea of grammar as a metaphor — and I am not sure if this whole idea is just a little bit too postmodern for me to express. But it’s fun to play with.

What if I stopped looking for adjectives?

What if I stood in the grammar of subject-verb,

never object.

It would be enough to have a body,

to move a body,

to love a body —

quiet in the entirety of a simple grammar,

unencumbered by punctuation.
