... a enormous brick wall. seeming impossible to
conquor. you look up at the top
knowing that you will never stand
high on top and look down
on the scattered verbs and pronouns.
but slowly you chip away at this wall.
thought by thought.
word by word.
syllable by syllable.
until it trembles
shakes.
and gives out. falling to a small pile
born a sentence
Does it have windows? doors? Are you thinking the Great Wall of China? the Berlin wall? Hadrian's wall? Is the sentence the wall -- or the act of writing like a wall?
