When he was young, he was broken and tired with words constantly swallowed. they'd crunch and snap in half - those sharp consonants. The vowels were another thing altogether. Their soft flow down his throat filled his stomach, right up to the top until....... he gave them up fantastically. Presently, the words assemble on the page, stacked in neat rows. row after row after row. But the white ice of paper and coal of ink do not emote. For by the face connections construct themselves. So now, he is not broken but he will break again.
