Hubris at Zunzal by Rodney Jones
The moment that I feel the author rejects his own proposition is when he says he "dumped it white into the waves" referring to the coconut milk and 150 proof rum that was in the coconut shell. In ths poem he talks about how sweet it was and how he wished he hadnt lost it leaving me wondering why he dumped it in the first place.

Is the spoken word like this? Like a poured, sweet drink? Do words expended out loud lose their potency? Is the written word more solid - less liquid - more substantial? more easily separable than the spilled spoken word?
