Diary operating manual(ly) online: sketch two

“This mixture of apparently disparate materials—scandal and spiritualism, current events and eternal recurrences—is not promising on the face of it.” ~ Gary Wills

Retrace.
Or retrograde? Doesn’t matter. A) You were getting climactic in your years, and B) no-one could tell.
1. Again, to stipulate how the myths were punctuated: open wider, take risks, be wise; generally, all aware of the triumph of lies. It is a tedious theory we practice. This may not be as true as the way we practice tedium, theoretically.
2. The letters came after the war we thought was the one for us. Our memory of it was so familialy confabulated, we had to buy the serial stories of guns so we could stick to them, and count on strangers as if they were kin: justice cuts in line. Follow the woodwind section to opine. For a moment, as brief as any’s awe, we assume a lesson is learned for us we will not have to learn en masse, and so we escape narrowly, the consequences of individuality. Hence, the Dear Diary/episodic corroborations/ occur naturally in situ. Everywhere that said truth went the lambs were sure to follow.
3. Histrionic is history. The future is all epilogue.
4. The new something is not a product of erasure so much as a product of how much you used to love to go camping. Remember this when attempting to describe the perfect method of roasting a marshmallow in the format of the new something. Remember the implements, the fire, the duration, and the sticky absurd morsel you once prized.
5. Instead of o captain my captain, o madame my madman.
6. “I’ll see you later.” coupled with, “Not if I see you first.” is a humorous problem. Humorous problems will not be ignored in the future. The goal will be to forget your middle name, and remember them only at greetings.
7. About pungent toil: It is a good, albeit out of fashion, habit to form with regard to living in any house shaped like a diary.
8. Again, when stipulating how the myths were punctuated: the house itself, is not suspect.
9. Divining rods and thresholds are useful instruments for interpreting possible messages revealed when the falling sky lands in your psyche more than once in the same second. The page has no roof. I will build the relations, and keep them everywhere. These relations are not statistically important, but count on us for reentry into the diary. If anything moves, I would love that.
10. Consider also: syntax equals form? Oh yes; sounds have bilabial and labiodental attitudes; and even express as personal information, as “I walk to Safeway,” comes into play, there is always a denoting and connoting toward safe ways.
11. Repeat and change. Never again look the pages in the eye and say, “you are better without God.”
