Language

Literature

Takes words

Neat little English pebbles

Lined up in ancient books

Their rules in solemn stone

Fiction

Is an axe

Cross-eyed

Defies the rules of its twin brother

Pours a voice

Into the silent woodworks

Shows them the art of foolish wisdom

Lets their rafters hum for a while

Art

Shatters

Scoops up the science

And teaches it magic

Ties the words together

Into whips of laughter

Or a singing noose

It twists the language

Haphazard paper puppets

Grinning in a string
