so if a boy is pretty much already a boy and a girl is pretty much already a
girl at the early stage of being twenty-four hour old and if the twenty-four
hour as a measure is for all of us the fair parameter for the entire life
span of our existence then I can assume we are condemned at a too praecox
stage to carry around bubs and balls not that I dislike such a rewarding
roundness but whenever a boy or a girl in their teens start running  they
becomes painfully aware of the encumbering weight of their sinister glands
which can grow disproportionately becoming enormous even in a sterile
context as our world and bubs and balls a macrocosm of planets so we must
also learn to bear in mind the value of the sphere as a fundamental shape
for the being and try to fight the undervaluing attitude we cultivate in our
heads crowned with wounding spikes when we are prone to think that it is
much better being a stick a needle a line between two paradoxes than aiming
to became similar to a whale a hugeness a kingsizeness all worries that I
push up towards the top of a rocky hill as Jeremy did with his huge stone so
to embrace and hold all my troubles your troubles everybody's trouble
without which I would not be the one I am suspected be a ball-fish relishing
in an vicious use of its incorrect knowledge I might wake up one day sick
and tired of being damned and fall into another curse within twenty-four
hour between a fake awaking and a fake sleep to finally see myself as a
suspended eye a roundness of perception skimming the greenness of a  pool
table where to meet other balls flying about other lives from hole to hole
globe to globe light to light blackness to blackness joy to joy pain to pain
all pretty much the same having the scary task of hitting a smaller ball to
enter six  small black vacuums therefore behave I say behave you rodents do
not corrode the edges since in the edge is all compressed my sister the one
who never saw the light whose shape is in my mind whose name is of pure
emerald and who I love the unborn princess my parents' project the holy gem
the rounder of all Their Holy Highness the little succulent oyster in an
orange afternoon of boundlessness if only she had sat by me if she had stood
in her perfected roundness if she had talked and cried made herself a despot
on me this little sister I would have had deposited five hundred pounds a
month on her account to cultivate a self which did not belong to me which I
would have from time to time just borrowed .
