Some Useless Windy English

after Sumana Roy

Say say. Now say something else.
Something else. Something else is
Going on here, going on

In here. You can make one word
Out of two, chop chop. A lot
Of languages do. A lot

Of exact repetition
Nonetheless has more to do
With making one word perform

More work, two tasks—emphasis
Beyond signification.
Beyond signification

Both meaning and nonsense lie.
Dance gingerly between them.
