6 | Say there are no words. Say that we are conjoined \ | ||
7 | from birth, or better still, say we are myself. \ | ||
8 | ---But I still talk to myself, I build my world \ | ||
9 | through language, so if we say there are no words \ | ||
10 | this is not enough. Say we are instead some animal, \ | ||
11 | or better yet, a plant, or a flagellum motoring \ | ||
12 | aimlessly around. (Say that humans are the only things \ | ||
13 | that reason. Say that we're the only things that worry.) | ||
14 | |||
15 | Say that I am separate. To say there's everything else \ | ||
16 | and then there's me is wrong. Each thing is separate: \ | ||
17 | there is no whole in the world. Say this is both good \ | ||
18 | and bad, or rather, say there is no good or bad but only \ | ||
19 | being, more and more of it always added, none taken out \ | ||
20 | though it can be forgotten. Say that forgetting \ | ||
21 | is a function of our remembering. (Say that humans only \ | ||
22 | worry about separation. Say that only humans feel it.) | ||
