LOL.

    I think translating any of Gertrude Stein's prose-poetry from _Tender
Buttons_ would be tuff enuff to crack open bigtime gap(p)ing big wholes in any
linguistic cricks & cracks in your natlang-like conlangs.
    Loglans and like are exempt from this exer-cise ;) Auxlangs have no
excuse whatsoever...

            "If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire

                can ever warm me, I know that is poetry. If I feel physically

                as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is
poetry.

                These are the only ways I know it. Is there any other way?"

is that they make unexpected linguistic associations." --- Jasia Reichardt

    "There is no reason for the poet to be limited to words, and in fact the
poet is most poetic when inventing languages. Hence the concept of the poet as
'language designer'."  --- O. B. Hardison, Jr.

     Language[s] change[s]: vowels shift, phonologies crash-&-burn, grammars
leak, morpho-syntactics implode, lexico-semantics mutate, lexicons explode,
orthographies reform, typographies blip-&-beep, slang flashes, stylistics
warp... linguistic (R)evolutions mark each-&-every quantum leap...
languages are "naturally evolved wild systems...
So language does not impose order on a chaotic universe,
but reflects its own wildness back." - Gary Snyder
