6Say there are no words. Say that we are conjoined \
7from birth, or better still, say we are myself. \
8---But I still talk to myself, I build my world \
9through language, so if we say there are no words \
10this is not enough. Say we are instead some animal, \
11or better yet, a plant, or a flagellum motoring \
12aimlessly around. (Say that humans are the only things \
13that reason. Say that we're the only things that worry.)

15Say that I am separate. To say there's everything else \
16and then there's me is wrong. Each thing is separate: \
17there is no whole in the world. Say this is both good \
18and bad, or rather, say there is no good or bad but only \
19being, more and more of it always added, none taken out \
20though it can be forgotten. Say that forgetting \
21is a function of our remembering. (Say that humans only \
22worry about separation. Say that only humans feel it.)
