I've been chewing up words since I was two. Been wrapping up my tongue around the taste of language.Tengo inglés en un oído--Spanish in the other. Something about the way vowels and consonants conflate has me bending at the knee. Why, words are beckoning me, such dulcet flutterings in my mouth. I speak and yo hablo, and I spoke. I can write an AD for my DICTION, bring the world want, a wee word addiction. Call me poet; it feels so right.
