western metaphysics aside...

                      there's the hebrew "aesthetic"...

of niqqud niqabs...

   french gluttony of congested
syllables,
        western slavic
                    clarity of orthographic
dicta laughing about
orthographic inability
                  in grafitti art...

    and then there's english:

a language over-ridden with
metaphysical questions,
but no orthographic application:

para-physical placebos:
but no actual ghosts...

               told you,
benzene attachment coordination
is the new: clock...

                what is the fourth dimension?
the alternative to
   para-, ortho-, meta- coordination,
namely the ring itself: tempa-

but there really is a hebrew
                                      orthography...
i am of the ones who've inherited
the idea of the roman empire,
not actually having experienced
its ancient footprint...

    it's simply bemusing that english
would call phoneticism, dyslexia,
a "spelling mistake"...
                given that it's a language
over-ridden with metaphysical
questions,
  and no orthographic application!

get m'ah dwift?
                 exactly, why bother writing
an R if you don't know how
to trill?!
               saved sooner by a surf-board,
yes?
            ******* dread-lock hippy
from newquay: no, not the unravelling
into: new-kee,
             neu-qua -            quay!
                              is it: new-kee?

you can't but not help to reduce
english deviance of surd encoding
into the ugliness that is
the "elephant in the room" of rewriting
english into phonetics...
because what is the study of english
in linguistic terms,
  if the language doesn't apply
         itself to orthographic application?

the same as: latin is a post-mortem;

   imitate jerking off into the air,
relieving yourself by protruding the middle-finger
at the sun...

   that's all i have...

          god, and the dream of faroe islands!

to paraphrase the natives:
    and they are natives to me...
      bewilderment about certain phonetic
encodings, which are at-variant
with how people speak...
                  akin to leisure activities...

two languages, bound within one,
the phonetic ugly,
    and the linguistic pretty...
  the pretty of spelling
   of a metaphor concise with "algebra",
or rather personal memory erroding
             "arithmetic"...

won, 1, one,
           2, two, too, to,
   3, free, three, fee,
   4, four...             flour...
  5, hive, five, i've...
   6...                
                              7, seven, heaven,
heave...
    8, ate, eight, eating...
9, nein, nine, noddy...
10, ten,
                         timothy.

for a language that deviates from
the concept of orthography:
it asks too many metaphysical questions,
i.e. 'what is reality?'
  is hardly, or rather: besides the "point":
coupled with the omni ****
origin story.
