A #301 -- articulation

"You don't understand," she said, "At some point or another, you're going to have to let the pain back in."

She was sitting next to me, practically enrobed

in the dunes, staring with concern, her gently burnt legs bare

and gritty with the white, white sand. We were maybe

ten feet from the boardwalk, and the sky was trying

to decide precisely what kind of blue or maybe grey

it was. This is a rich image, the kind that conjures

itself up out of conjectures

of fragments of memories, perhaps dreams that

I had long ago forgotten, those longing ones that are

imprecise and that I can't exactly articulate What it Is

I'm feeling. I think maybe it's just that I want to sit

on the sand next to a girl I can trust with all my heart

because she has sturdier hands than mine and wouldn't

love me any less for it, and maybe in that dream

i have sturdier hands, too, and maybe

that's why she's even talking to me or looking to me in the

first place. I think that some people call this type

of image a vision, but I can't see anything I can't see anything

I can't see anything in it, other than that it will probably

never come true, or if it does, I'll know what it means

even less or more than i do now, and it'll hurt all the worse

it'll hurt all the worst

things about it are:

one, the daze of gleaming fictionals

and the proximity of the unreal, held back by the

unyielding semi-permeable membrane of ____?

two, the propensity of the mind

to suffer for no cause other than

itself, and three, the very fact that

at some point or another, you're going to

have to let the pain back in so you can

understand what it means, the dream, i mean, i mean,

the pain, and grow for it, or away from it, or something.

last night, i had a dream that i had a little brother and that we ran away together into a dank-purple deepblue night, and i think we could have been running from and through a parking lot nearby a beach and a boardwalk somewhere, and my father pulled up to us in his red car wearing his dark glasses he rolled down his dark windows and asked when i was coming home again and i told him to give me more time, and he just shook his head silently and drove away and

ha you thought he was going to repeat the first line again didn't you well so did i

The use of more words or word-parts than is necessary for clear expression: examples are black darkness, or burning fire.

Prolixity

Words Like Hatred, Sorrow And Woe Should be excluded from the ones we all know. You see, Words are just letters, constructed and thought And mingled about in our great melting pot. We say them, we shout them, we scream and we yell. We write our laments from the pits of our cell. We swear and we curse as we tarnish and hurt. Making our brothers mere piles of dirt. But use your words wisely, with wisdom and care And you'll find that the sounds will bring peace to the air. You can tell me you love me, or bid me audiue. But such simple words just mean nothing from you. Our Words have such power, such beautiful force In practice, a sentence can outpull a horse. In lessons our language can get more complex, But elaboracy's nothing, If causing a Vex. You Don't Want Confusion, But Boldness and Heart. For Even Speaking Itself, Is an Elegant art.
