THE OLD PIECE OF WORD

they said I could go

and come out of that pit where I fell. It was
an almost wordless pit, but it
felt nice for a few days. No words

“sometimes I hate words”

if there is a duality in this word
which is often playing tricks on us, it is this one: words
and things-not-words

whatever. They said I could go, at last

and come out of that pit where I fell. It was
an almost wordless pit, but I
did find something of a word in there. It was
an old piece of word. Maybe it
was missing a letter. I can’t
tell if it was HELL
or HELLO. I wonder who used it last before
me?

I recommend: Why I Write by George Orwell. Great little book.
