E(YE)-MAIL Patrick Lawler The whole world is a mouth. The crunching. The stone whispers. Malleable. Opulent. The world crumbling under our toes. No way to be quiet. The ink noise; the sound of each word entering the paper. The chewing of the planets. Swan genitals. Dove brains. Goose tongues. It is as if the world were a mouth. I feel the living lips. C ivilization comes down all around us-a soft mystified eyelid. 122 1Lawler: e(ye)-mailPublished by The Open Repository @ Binghamton (The ORB), 2007
