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. Speaks for yourself  

You can’t for itself alone does language speak.
