Experimental fiction, American
Very likely they did not have a little more those who had and have what
they have. Very likely the ones they know are the ones they know. Very
likely it would not do any harm to say what they say as they do say what
they say. Very likely they can laugh when they laugh and very likely
they like what they like when they like what they like.
It is always a way to say that going away is a way in going away.
If stumbling is continuing then a side-walk is restoring. If a
side-walk is restoring then eating is satisfying. If eating is
satisfying then undertaking is beguiling. If undertaking is beguiling
then shooing is concentrating. If shooing is concentrating then
resounding is destroying. That is the way to sleep.
If a piece that is longer is longer and stirring is wetting then surely
no one need know anything.
To refuse is the way to refuse all the way and there is enough and to
spare when in being asked to take what is given not being there is all
there is of not having had anything. Quantities are not lost when there
is satisfaction and yet there is the whole way of counting and there is
some way of retiring. Nevertheless it cannot be seen that the way to
remove what is not seen is not the way that washing makes plain. It is
slightly difficult to have what is being had and to say that sleeping is
sleeping a little any day. It is not thoughtful to think that the way to
make a sound is by hearing a roaring that may be a mingling and
certainly is existing.
All the perplexity of congratulation is removed when two are talking and
are saying that they are not where they were. They have been moving and
they saw one and pleasantly took something and they did not see one and
this had to do with eating. Particularly undertaking refusing everything
is a means that is wholesome when health and wealth is not
deteriorating. All that can be included is not all that is withheld and
rashly enough the water that came all flowed away. There was then a
happy ending.
If two talking together are saying that they have not been together when
each one saw something then they are not always listening, they are
sometimes tired. This is enough so so that two can be married.
One is the one who came and looked down and did not frown and could walk
longer if the way which is long is harder. This one who did walk went
back again and said that that which was seen was peculiar. The one who
did not walk would walk longer and did walk and did see that thing and
did say that perhaps it was peculiar but it did not matter as it would
not be seen again and certainly not longer. They were not opposing
listening neither the one or the other who was talking. They were not
asking it again as much and this was the way of arranging that there was
not to be all there was of future. They took a walk together and they
came oftener and they were not hidden by the light that made a flicker.
They had undertaken enough.
