It is hard to speak about what you want to speak about when all you do is speak about the way you’d speak about what you want to speak about. Things get worse then when you try to speak about the way you'd like to speak about these things you hold so dear that you can't help but speak about them, to the point you mean to speak about the way you'd love to speak about them. But is unbearable when after so long of trying everything to explain the how, you fall out of love with what you wanted to speak so madly about, and all is left are the ghosts of departed quantities of genius, the maddening silence after your great idea is gone, that cigarette ash flake floating in the afternoon, so graciously convinced of being smoke, perhaps even a cloud.
