The other day, I went to a perfumery in order to lift my spirit by sniffing a little Poison. This is by no means a contradiction, and perfume-experienced people know that the name of a frenchman stands for this Poison as one of the most extraordinary scents in this world. So, while I was indulging myself in this heavenly aroma therapy, a woman entered the shop addressing one of the sales ladies. She asked for Poison, but before I had the chance to get jealous I realised what she had said. Instead of simply pronouncing it in English, ˈpɔɪz(ə)n, she had been willing to pay attention to this perfume's French origin. Therefore, she pronounced it pwasɔ̃ , with an unvoiced s, in French "poisson", and not, as she should have, pwazɔ̃ , in French "poison". One tiny little difference, but a distinct one, if not to say distinctive, since a consonant pronounced voiced or unvoiced can be most significant. In this case, the scent of fish is definitely not a perfume.

You see, here you'll find poems of opportunity and seasons. They're mine, though, so I have to protect them.
Welcome! If you are willing to follow the iconian path, you should know that it is always you we are talking to, even if it is not. And that everything is true, even if it is not. We all are eternally united in the last space possible where even the impossible is real. We ought to believe the foretold: If we'll meet tomorrow, next year, or never, it doesn't matter, it's only time! And everything, even time is fiction.
By the way, typos and other mistakes - we know there are many. If you can be bothered, please let us know. Thank you! And for any legal issues, please contact us before we have to tell you that we're skinned. But you can also write, of course, if you like what you read. Please, write to the webmaster.
