We're accustomed to use language to communicate with each other. We do so in words. As T.S. Eliot says in Sweeney Agonistes: "I gotta use words when I talk to you." We're so in the habit of doing just that, we don't even think much about it, we just do it. It's what we do. It's our job; it's the price of being alive and living in a human society. This is true all over the world, whether it be alphabet, ideogram and/or any form of verbal communication inbetween. But what if it were fun? That's what we're doing, Richard Kostelanetz and I, in Doublooons. We take words that rhyme with each other, like pell mell, surreal heal, complex perplex, same tame, etc. Sometimes we stretch them: harpoon loon goon boon, etc. That's why we call them Doublooons, or stretched Doubloons.
