"Je Suis une table" Donald Hall

Donald Hall

It has happened suddenly, by surprise, in an arbor, or while drinking good coffee, after speaking, or before, that I dumbly inhabit a density; in language, there is nothing to stop it, for nothing retains an edge. Simple ignorance presents, later, words for a function, but it is common pretense of speech, by a convention, and there is nothing at all but inner silence, nothing to relieve on principle now this intense thickening.
