Language is an ingredient
in a magnificent soup.
It is not the soup itself.

Don't satisfy yourself with garlic only, that burning smack
is nothing compared with its capacity
to wend and become something brand new.

So get to the kitchen! Stop holding single ingredients in
your hand! You are not as foolish and unsure as you seem!
Inside the steaming, many things appear that are not
here now, in your thin, tired question.
