meander http://www.alansondheim.org/walking03.jpg johnston ri http://www.alansondheim.org/walking06.jpg johnston ri http://www.alansondheim.org/walking07.jpg johnston ri http://www.alansondheim.org/mall03.jpg mall providence ri http://www.alansondheim.org/mall06.jpg apple store pvd http://www.alansondheim.org/mall07.jpg apple store pvd http://www.alansondheim.org/mall23.jpg govern pvd http://www.alansondheim.org/mall27.jpg mall roof vet pvd i. i can't decide among these. azure and i wander. we were warned not to leap off the roof. in johnston we went to a library sale where i found scholem and a dictionary- encyclopedia of witchcraft. i try to keep busy. the silence of the city is deafening. everyone i know is in trouble. i can't decide between the apple store views. i can't decide between the pond views. we were on an island in the pond. you see so many things there. i read marguerite duras. i watch bbc. atomic monsters and violent drives populate dreams. i need to know 1. how to set up ar. 2. how to set up vr. 3. where to get this tech. 4. how to afford it. 5. how to interact with blockchain. 6. how to get out of the country again. 7. how to leave. when we walk we are still in america. america surrounds us. when i look up or down it is still america. it reeks of tyranny. there is america to my left. there is america to my right. when we walk we cannot walk far enough. dear friends how can we walk out of america. there is the bay. i could walk into the bay and walk out through the bay, when i could no longer walk i would not be in america. ii. i do not want to do this. where is the thing that will take us out of america. know that america does not want us. iii. we meander in an untoward geography. there is no good thing that favors one direction over another. this is the analog world in the absence of the jump cut. when i close my eyes i am still here. when i sleep i am still here. all our walks have the form of a jordan curve. all our walks have closure. the sky is in the sky. i borrow from my answers. i burrow from them. the day of atonement is my only day without remorse, a singularity. azure and i are doing well, thank you. iv. tomorrow we will wake up and we will leave our place and we will walk. we will walk down the stairs and out of our building. we will walk in one direction and walk in another. if we walk only in one direction we will return nowhere, return from nowhere to nowhere. we will change direction in the world on the surface of the earth and we will walk in another direction. another direction is the same direction. we will wander. i will record everything and nothing. we will never go where we have never gone again. we will walk and we will end up, here and now and another time, and we will be another one and another time. we will wander, and we will call this 'and such it is.' 'and such it is' is what we will have done. and we will have done, we will have done, for now.
