Shall I tell you oh shall I tell you?
Yes do.
Tell one, tell all for there is no fortitude in silence that will feed you to the
bone and then some. Flowing, oh flowing as you would want it to be and it
always is what you want it to be and then it is some more than that that
can’t be named no matter how often you seek to name it.

what he can’t say to C. can’t or won’t, no difference and the world-word no
better for it. Telling no telling. That’s the way of it as it winds its way about

could. Would like to but can’t. can only tell what I know. Of him and her
and she as they found themselves that day on the tram, or that evening on a
beach. Lovely threesome. Build on that a new theocracy. I will and I won’t.
am already doing so. Will do so again because there is nothing better worth
doing if anything other than that is worth doing that is. Let it flow, let it
flow. All is water to the sea. See – I can see it from here. Always could and
always will. Meanwhile oh meanwhile the world is going on and I am late.
