Under this actual moon, you see that the world is flooded by writing nobody can read. You walk over canals on floating bridges. One man is able to cross without a bridge because he is not real and because the water is actually a thick green sludge, water in only the loosest sense, in the same sense that you are water. There are safety gates and automatic hammers. Some go swimming but you cannot. There is too much writing gathering on the surface of the canal. You feel the quiet and disquiet of this place but people continue to swim effortlessly, refreshed from the heat. You cannot join them but you cannot leave either, so you watch and wish that you knew nothing of the plastic heads, atriums and carnage, that you too could penetrate the surface of the water. The pages continue to collect on the surface, blown here by a hot afternoon wind, covering the canals, the swimmers and the city itself, until you too are wrapped within the pages.
