SAPIR- WHORF HYPOTHESIS
SNOW writes many words for Eskimos an alphabet of flakes
lexicon of textures list of wind’s inflections
and idiomatic shapes falling frozen
drifting piled on trees packed by runners voiced by feet.
Language colors what we know. The Eskimo has half-a-hundred words for snow
makes nice
distinctions concerning ice.

YAMICA WARBLER
Yamica yamica Yamica warbler
Whoever heard of Wilson
Name thudding his black cap Down on his golden-yellow head
Business street bird without identity When he should be known by his yamica
Beanie blackberry-bright leaf to leaf Yam yam yamica
