To Speak Your Language: A Poem To Inspire

here I have laid out the imagination for you:

to speak your language

to not let your language die

to not confine your language to a too small space

to not make your language habitual

to develop your language

to disrupt your language

to keep your language balanced

to poison your language

to flush your language down the toilet

to lock up your language

to fatten up your language

to destroy your language

to pull apart your language

to wish very bad things upon your language

to waste your language

to objectify your language

to ignore your language

to anger your language

to tongue your language

to paradox your language

to errupt your language

to lecture your language

to address your language

to keep your language in mind

to make your language vulnerable

to look your language in the eyes

to put your language in a fishbowl and see what happens

to use your language as a physical experiment

to use your language as conceptual work

to leave your language to the reader, 

'here reader, here is the language, feed it, do it, don't let it die'

to alienate your language

to love your language

imagination is a controlled environment

to speak your language

is to control it
