Words like mosquitoes swarming / Around me, pestering

A Code of Nature with a Subject
A Code of Nature with a Subject Once a code of nature without a subject. Now: language tongue, la, signifying Illness, la, a foreign verb linked to other verbs, Other selves. Larynx a tool of ancient Life-form's unearthly rhetoric. I cannot Speak! Ancient virus speak! with alien joy About control& replication& money. Lalangue is master to my slave. The pest Clings to me, through me. I am overcoded& Yet the words I use are not the things I want to talk about
