Boolean Muteness
by Bill Yarrow
You immerse yourself in the spicy soup of words.
I'm on a restricted diet.
You emerge delighted from the shower of silence.
I am less naked.
You think diction is a slick fish.
I believe in scouring the sea with spears.
You support speech's freelance mootness.
I'm for language's Boolean muteness.

I love your metaphors here.
An amazing line, Bill: "You think diction is a slick fish." Good piece. I like it.
