adverbial
it is so cold that we have become adverbial: we can’t even sink into metaphor
because it’s nothing like anything else. we try to throw out adjectives and there’s
nothing to say. “it’s so cold that” — and then we’re at a null.
i hate adverbs but i rejoice in them too, the fucking creativity. we’re real cold,
bitterly cold, ruthlessly, astonishingly, insanely cold — we’re toe-losingly cold,
ear-grippingly cold — i can do nothing but extrapolate on the fact of this.
