“ Mum's the word." " To be precise, dumbs the word.”
“For the poet, the world is word. Words. Not that precisely. Precisely: the world and words fuck each other.”
“...words so precisely placed that in combination with other words, also precisely placed, they carve out a shape in space and time.”
“Words have power, you dumb piece of shit.”
“Then others for breath of words respect,Me for my dumb thoughts, speaking in effect.”
“I have heard no word of my own language; I am rendered dumb.”
