    I am attempting to make my conlang _dzjunk-lego_* along the
cosmological/ontological/semantic lines of Taoism** and Japanese Zen _wabi-sabi_
aesthetics*** .

    I don't think _dzjunk-lego_ would probab'ly be anti-loglang as much as
non-Eurolog loglang...
    ::poor MonkeyBrainies spinnin' a lil too fast at that sentence::
    OK is this more of an engelang then 0_o?
    Mayhaps I should just call it a "mangalang" ;)

* "In concrete poetry {concretismo} words are dismantled and modified so that
we can see what they are made of, like a complex toy {Lego!} taken to pieces
by a wayward child. In short, the poet becomes a "designer" of meaning." - _
The Concrete Poetry Movement in Brazil_ by Severo Sarduy

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

"Poetic creation still remains an act of perfect spiritual freedom. Poetry
remakes & prolongs language; every poetic language begins by being a secret
language, that is, the creation of a personal universe, of a completely closed
world." - Mircea Eliade
