Abstract

I speak in tongues in other words other languages I do not know like the believer who speaks in tongues from the spirit not the mind my words are not mine but unlike the believer with anointed words I am polyglot with glossitis my words flat without gloss I am a babbling poet a wanderer in the alphabet seeking my glossographer but I want no glossarist who will define me I call a glossator who will charge into the dark places where lines run skew will you be my glosser?
