e henry marston, historically known as the “person”-
f “I regarded him as a powerful ally.”
g and then a similar phrase repeated over again, systematically,
h this time without the incoherent italics: to wit,
i regarded him as an occasional semi-powerful alloy.

my original intention was to secure lodgings downtown. a person b person c person d person etc. is alive and needs shelter, alive and requires some sort of reliable fuel source. a great window, overlooking a great river also, whispers something- what is it? what is the transparency whispering? wish i knew, i heard her saying... wish i had something semi-concrete to show for it...
...your skeleton isn't enough? (I respond.) your finger nails? your eyeballs? oh, those things are more than enough... wish i didn't have so much detritus backed up on the hard drive. (she responds.) well, dump it back into the ocean, then. all of it? no. just a representative sample. will you help me select? dunno- how long you think it's going to take? dunno- it depends on how carefully i want to comb thru your archives...
not a woodland... a valley.
not a valley... a watercourse.
not water, of course, and not necessarily taoism either.
not necessarily taoism and not necessarily not taoism's ancient mosaic and library.
not culture, not ether, not animal, not vegetable, not mineral.
is that enough information?
no, not nearly enough information.
a indeed this may have been a mistake on the anthropologists part.

b venturing out into nature- indeed, probably another tv-based opportunity lost in the reverberation of lab-based and mind-biased periodic constituents. the table of elements. the fable of an oceanographer's destiny.

d "not the most successful ideas, maybe, I think you were sayin' just a minute ago?" "well, murphy, i suppose that's just another question that the courts will have to decide."
e not the sort of ideas that would inspire a crowd of strangers to gather together? maybe inside of the home? or rather, out in public somewhere?
(the public sphere-share becomes the “arena” in which we are able to “craft” certain ideas. the public skill-share, the crest fall, the star-chamber matter of factnesses.)
(old people, young people, middle-aged people, other people, other categories and strategies for remaining what is sometimes termed "barely intact.")
f henry marston, the subject/object- gazing out into the emptiness.
g and then a similar phrase repeated over and over again, this time without the same radii of devastating italics-
h gazing out into the ostensible nothingness.
what would you do if you were henry?
what would you do if you were no longer henry?
