Sick Words

(A linguistic experience)

Was there any argument that justified 
the existence of the word-disease?
something more was said of this 
at the beginning of the completion of the understanding
who disputed any logos establishing the new negative balance
on the influence of the word on the general condition 
of the illiterate impatient patient?
scary demon-letters! 
they run through the phrasal labyrinth 
and the fat of leftover vowels
it smears the verbal walls and there is no law 
that limits the limit of the limitless
sick phonemes accept any pain 
there is no medicine and there is no leaflet insert 
it is all unpredictability
I've been using gerunds around 
like when who doesn't know
or not knowing in all a textual body
goes astray to where they call where...
