Language is mathmatical,
Predictable.
Even as liquidity can be prescribed
And described as easily
As a course in fluids,
Equations and their derivations!
Take the second, the third,
To hear what our pronunciations
Will sound like in a couple of generations.
Reverse them, back, back again,
And find our English word
In Old High Norse. Back again,
And finally you will get the same word
In Proto-Indo European.

How do you like that?
You , who hate math, and give your preference
To letters and literature?
That embedded in all your precious books,
In the grammars you hold so dear,
In the precocious words themselves
And what you consider
Proper enunciation,
A tapestry of logarithm, calculus,
And binary code
Holding all of your thoughts together.

And you thought you were just talking!
