we fly in the forest.  our seeing the arrow.  thieves live here.  and the forest is actually a series of forests of different sizes, some lining the floors of others.  you put it together.  we get smaller and smaller until we’re not even real anymore.  night showers us with ratios.  we walk a long stair.  we know stones, bricks, timbers, the external merge of any two syntactic objects.
