How individual handles the egg is difficult

as in the winter when it snows upon one's mouth

the jellyfish's lengthy howl through the ocean

Here disappears Solveig and her wetnurse

Eigil's wheelchair and Peter's suitcases and

here Peter's cap w/,springs and his

scissors and the pictures of Erna in a bikini

And for a like reason here is an old man wl sunglasses

and a girl in a plastic raincoat with padded bonnet

here is the man with the sunglasses plus cane

and the girl in the plastic raincoat that is r

and thus here is your old father beneath the trees

and your beloved's face in rain disappeared

You call your sister and you cut asparagus

you put water upon and you vacuum out in the hallway

you impel the chairs and suddenly you have it all

wrapped up in paper and you call your sister:

"The snails crawl up across heaven, you mark my words!"

You're just sitting there and listening to your inner collisions

you have gone to the cinema inside yourself, man, wake up!

your girlfriend is upon the way to you separated into 16 ambulances

but you hang upon a thread down from the ceiling as another I!
