Do you feel threatened by it?
I keep thinking about it.
Do you want to understand it?
I would like to but I can’t find the time.
Until you fall off the train.
Who are your friends?
Everyone whom I know who answers me.
How close are you to it?
It is almost part of me. I keep on having to rotate around it.
And does it rotate around you?
And does it turn around me?
I hope it doesn’t see me everywhere.
But it does.
They send messages without my permission.
Stop.
Does everyone read those messages?
No, if I stop, I won’t keep up. It will run me over.
So escape.
I have the feeling that I need the information, yet at the same time it overwhelms me, I have to learn how to filter it. Lots
of useless bits of information.
Such as?
Such as letters.
I mean it is not clear whether you are supposed to understand them just the way they are written.
