#dialects
bother not! to consult the dry jawed bones of moving mouths that study sociolinguistics instead, stand and comprehend that puddles, ponds, bays, great lakes, seas, and oceans larger than puny continents, are all bodies from which you drink, imbibing the molecules that disparately contribute to to your uniqueness, all pools, regardless of the boring of sizable differentiation, from which drawing inspiration is legally compulsory so write with the vocabularies you were luckily enough to assemble, and write with the richness of their combinatorial gold <nml> 5:16am October First 2025

the difference between dialects and language
What of languages, if you only need one or two words to say you're sorry? What of learning dialects, if you only need a single sentence to tell me why you think I deserved whatever **** you've put me in? What use are the multiple languages you speak, when you can't use a single one of them to justify what you did? What about the new language you taught me, is it even ours to begin with? What good is it, if I'm now gagged, silenced and mute? So what of languages, if you are to be exiled soon, with your tongue tied too? So what of my dialects, if I couldn't even ask myself to forgive and forget, to let it go and give it a rest? So what use are the multiple languages we speak, if we can't use a single word, a sentence, not a single language to say the multitudes of feelings we feel? What about the new language you taught me? I wanna write these words in scripts, only to light them in a fire. How good will it be, if I were to be the bad guy this time?

What of languages, if you only need a few words to tell me the truth? What of learning dialects, if you only need a single sentence to ask the ocean to stay still for a moment? What use are the multiple languages you speak, when you can't use a single one of them to say what you feel? What about the new language you taught me, do I forget it and throw it to the sea? What good is it, if I'm slowly becoming mute? So what of languages, if you only have to answer yes or no? So what of dialects, if I couldn't even ask you to drown me in your ocean of lies, let your waves sink me, eat me alive? So what use are the multiple languages we speak, if we can't use a single word, a sentence, not a single language to say the multitudes of feelings we feel? What about the new language you taught me? Do I write about it, let it hurt and **** How bad will it be, if I were to die on this hill?

What of languages, if you only need a few words to ask how a friend is today? What of learning dialects, if you only need a single sentence to ask a vendor how much their goods are? What use are the multiple languages you speak, when you can't use a single one of them to say what you feel? What about the new language you taught me, if you only speak to me when I do? What good is it, if I were to become mute? So what of languages, if you can't use them to ask me how I am today? So what of your dialects, if I couldn't ask you how much your attention is, or if I could even buy it? So what use are the multiple languages we speak, if we can't use a single word, a sentence, not a single language to say what we feel? What about the new language you taught me? Do we let it die or make new jokes? How good it will be, if they become true?

Umbilical cords
It ain’t like ahm a teacher ner nuthin. Ahm jess a regular person, nothin spayshul Ah ain’t no docterr of rocket science Ahm jess a working guy, and kinda playful. Ah half tah admit, ah do get things wrong And sometahms ah can make a big mess But ah do have minny, minny good points And ahm a rilly good person, irregardless. But things like writin’ readin’ and Readin’ writin’ and sech lack that stuff Ah stopped carin’ ‘bout at twelve ‘Cause ah found it more than kinda tuff. Ah mean, it ain’t lack ah ain’t never Gunna need to know reedickaluss stuff lie cat. Ahm jess gunna graduate and then Ah’ll go to work with Dad and drahve a bobcat. Ain’t nobuddy needs algebra for that Er fer workin’ at the factory line ever day either. And it sher ain’t like ahm a teacher ner nuthin. Ahm jess a regular person, nothin spayshul Ah ain’t no docterr of rocket science Ahm jess a working guy, and kinda playful. Ah half tah admit, ah do get things wrong And sometahms ah can make a big mess But ah do have minny, minny good points And ahm a rilly good person, irregardless. But things like writin’ readin’ and Grammer and other sech borin’ stuff Ah stopped carin’ ‘bout at twelve ‘Cause ah found it more than kinda tuff.

Ain’t nobuddy needs algebra for that Er fer workin’ on a factory line ever day either. Ah sherr don’t need it to work digging Er runnin’ sewer lahns er plummin’ pipes neither. So, folks can jess give up on tryin’ To turn me into some kinda egghead scholar. After all, it was good enough for my dad To go to work, and work hard to earn a dollar.
