Basic Geometry

Bisecting the point that bisects the line of flight of a witch flying on a blue plastic broom saying she is used to flying on vacuum cleaners, power turned on – buttons pushed down whirring through clouds of gray and blue wishing to be wearing a long robe in green clearly indicating rain that is yet to be also at the same time the rain that was that had flown on the ground like a river after falling black like rivulets of ink from a pen that they associate with a fountain and a nib in gold with a split edge writing zero point seven millimeters thickness stories and lines of songs that promise to stay forever with magic ink that is invisible to the malicious eye bad intentions box of choices for you to choose from after throwing away garlands of rose and leaves of the banyan wound around their legs and the trunk of an elephant thick long tusk reflecting on the calm surface of water inside every deep well while spiders are busy weaving cobwebs riding bicycles in drawn circles of evolution in the sky blue shades of dark gray after Picasso said something mean about Gertrude Stein’s ink-stained fingers busy scribbling little meaningless passages in the notebook she keeps in her pocket inside formalin words floating in a jar dead or alive with meanings about objects food rooms and imaginary numbers that talk not about you or me or them but all that they talk about all the time are about one’s own self, first-person singular in one letter – no letter more, nothing less and definitely not a penny more not a pound less
