Die with a smile...



I don't want to tell just one story, I want to tell every story, everything all at once, not anything in particular that might be said through the words I know. I try to roll all sounds into one, to accumulate more and more syllables, as if they might make a new strip of language in which everything, everything is contained. There is a hidden rule even in this quest, though - that the sounds have to resemble real syllables, that they can't disintegrate into brute noise, for then I wouldn't be talking at all. I want articulation - but articulation that says the whole world at once.
