Linguistics


The limitations of language

have never been more palpable than now

as I blindly grope the drywall of my brain

for some sort of linguistic light switch to illuminate

the essence of me

in a string of 26 letters.

But the fact of the matter is, 

I am far better at math than words.

And algebraically,

I am 26

divided by 

zero.

Undefined.
