Something's always beginning. Paying attention makes it portentous. The beginning splits into many beginnings. Something's beginning amidst the background noise. Lots of sputtering. Beginnings crossbreed; and will continue til it's dark. The movements are melodic. Difficult to know if one is alive or in post-production.
