when he died it was uncanny Stillness that whatever would move http://www.alansondheim.org/thestillness.jpg Because he said or she said when they died or when she died or when he died it was uncanny Stillness that whatever would move him or her would from that point on and perhaps even earlier These results of some external agency . There was nothing to the gods or men . When they say a Stillness was perfect Did they mean that sound was already imperfect something that would break the Stillness or did they mean its sounded self was perfect and Stillness smothered it . When they say the slightest movement , When they say the slightest movement To the left to the right As one we're going down to the shore as she or he we're going down to the shore with them and then beyond that they mean that's the Stillness What's uncanny and Powerful like the gods and covered him or her or them . Where did they mean that the sound Of the shore and the boat Was not only breaking Stillness but shattering it and covering that with the noise of Eternity . When they say they were speaking Did they mean he was speaking or she was speaking or they were speaking and to whom and where their answers and from home . Was just speaking breaking the silence or did Silence break into speech and create a Stillness as if he or she or they were by the shore or no longer moving unless moved by the shore . Moved by the wind . Moved by the waves . When they say what they said Was anyone listening What's the listening covering and excluding the sound was a sound occluding and covering what they were saying . Was what they were saying the silence And the sound of silence itself was what no one was saying what was what was being said . What's uncanny and Powerful is what's uncanny and Powerful And what that would be would be the proper name Which covers everything occludes everything includes everything covers everything And lends itself to a silence which is the only thing that is speaking Enumerating Itself by the creation of numbers in silence as if they were down a deep well up a high tower down that deep well up a high tower . Who were they when they came Who were they when they left . Those who came and those who last spoke among themselves And they said who were they when they came Who were they when they left . Who were they when they came who were they when they left . Now I tell you and I tell you And I am talking to the silence / / Because I cannot finish this Because I'm not saying anything Because I'm suddenly sounding like a school child trying to write an essay And make as much sound as she or he or they could On the Blackboard or on the desk with The Inkwell while they were attempting to speak and swallowing swallowing their words . And now I say that's swallowing where they say that's swallowing or she says that's swallowing where he says that swallowing is all there will be a motion because he or she Or they or I am gone or he or she or they were I am gone Or he or she or they where I am gone when I am gone _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
