I got a typewriter +and typing things in a book +became impossible. I began typing +on 4x6 notecards. I ran out of +ribbon in my typewriter. I wrote +on the 4x6 notecards. I bought a +new ribbon and new notecards. Now +again I am typing on notecards. + What have I been typing? +Thoughts, impressions maybe, a log +of changes to my mental state. I +waited long enough and I began +recording them in the same way. If +I wait longer the ribbon will run +out again and I'll write again, on +notecards or in my book. The same +thoughts in different bodies. + That's what it means, "Every +thing changes or everything stays +the same." It might as well be +"and." Local differences add up to +global identities. It's a hoop, +right? And we keep going around +and we think it's flat but it's +round like the Earth. +``` + +Paul pushed his chair away from the Writing Desk and stared at the notecard. +He stood up, knocked his head on the lightbulb, swore. He pulled the notecard +from his typewriter and crumpled it up with his left hand. With his right hand +he reached in his pocket and pulled out his cigarettes. He put one in his +mouth, threw the paper in the corner, grabbed his axe, went out into the +woods. -- cgit 1.4.1-21-gabe81
