Love Queries of a Linguist

by John Miaou

If I were a stop, would you be my explosion?
If I were a nasal, would you be my syllabification?
If I were an utterance, would you be my intonation?
And if I were a sound wave, would you be my perception?

If I were a noun, would you be my qualification?
If I were a verb, would you be my inflection?
If I were a sentence, would you be my topicalization?
And if I were a passive, would you be my activation?

If I were a statement, would you be my proposition?
If I were a premise, would you be my conclusion?
If I were an argument, would you be my confirmation?
And if I were the truth, would you be my contradiction?
