I had to disassemble it Our world Take it apart Bit by bit Word by word Those words Letters Full of meaning Could no longer exist Anywhere My friend, my lover And my refuge Suddenly turned Traitor Turned foul Deceptive Dangerous My friend, my lover My language So I began the demolition Of clandestine concepts Tearing apart nouns And adversary adjectives violently, I separated verbs And adverbs Thus impairing indecent interjections Until our grammar Finally collapsed Now there is only silence Safety in signs like Minuscule monuments All bereft of meaning And I am in mourning For I have no words To throw into the void Only memories Of distant dialogues Dreams

Taking Apart Language
I had to disassemble it Our world Take it apart Bit by bit Word by word Those words Letters Full of meaning Could no longer exist Anywhere My friend, my lover And my refuge Suddenly turned Traitor Turned foul Deceptive Dangerous My friend, my lover My language So I began the demolition Of clandestine concepts Tearing apart nouns And adversary adjectives violently, I separated verbs And adverbs Thus impairing indecent interjections Until our grammar Finally collapsed Now there is only silence Safety in signs like Minuscule monuments All bereft of meaning And I am in mourning For I have no words To throw into the void Only memories Of distant dialogues Dreams
