Review of Language is an Antibiotic
A beautiful mix of phrases, words, and sentences tied together with music that rips into you, but rips into you in a good way. I love words, and this piece captures my heart and imagination with its ability to construct phrases and metaphors that are original, sad, quirky, vivid, funny, etc. My favorite: "Over time, his spine twisted and knotted, like a flower confused as to the direction of the sun."
