Performance
” I bought a new toothbrush because I have something to say, because I have something new to say, and when I have something new to say, I like the word to be brushed, rubbed, polished, so I rub all the words on the way out and then I go, in front, behind, up, down, sideways, all the words, there they go, because what I want to do is make the words shine so that they are smiling, they are jewels and then enamelled, yes words repair, that’s what I want. Because for words to be beautiful, you have to rub them, sand them to get fluoride words, calcium words, Colgate words. Signal words, that’s what I want! Then there’ll be a ” bathroom ” speech with angry white words. And in the end, it’ll be a rather sanitizing speech, with angry dentals biting the words out despite the pasty toothpaste that could, admittedly, make this speech frothy and expansive. So in the end, what I have to say is rather something inarticulate, which is going to get louder and louder, because it’s inarticulate. Yes, because right now I’ve got a mouth full of it, yes I’ve got a mouth full of it, I’ve got the rage rising and all that is foam around the mouth, yes foam, yes rage and finally what I’ve got to say are the words anger!”
