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.
