Did you sleep well last night?

he inhaled No I slept like shit

I’m sorry.

Im sorry youre sorry  particularly when you shouldnt be sorryunless  unless    you had something to do with disturbing my sleep  which you did not

Please  no unwarranted sorrys  please

I feel badly that you didn’t have a good night.

Then say that Not sorry

And you

Thank you. I slept well.

Dream

I did, it’s vague now, I don’t remember dreams like you do.

Can you recall anything

Yes. Goldfish in a pond were replaced by glass fish, and the glass fish were lighted from below and were prismatic; but they didn’t move.

Did you remove the goldfish or place the glass ones

Not me, I watched.

Was it one person or several people

I watched, rather saw, the goldfish were there, then they weren’t, then there were glass fish, and then the pond was lighted and the fish sparkled.

Did you live by the pond or did you walk to visit the pond

I don’t know. I know I didn’t like the glass fish; I liked their submerged sparkling light.

Did you dream?

I dreamt words I dreamed In the beginning there was the word . . if you knew the word . . then it wasnt the true word . . the true word is unknowable . . if someone professes they know  they are false

I know I know theyll repeattheyll say like children who prefer to dismiss an adult who is taking their time to offer them an explanation

                 to which the adult ought to relent and say Fine, tell me what you know.

But they dont know And theyre embarrassed  Theyve embarrassed themselves

I dreamt the words up to they are false the rest was an elaboration a pet peeve

Ah. Do you feel you have to embarrass children?

They embarrass themselves If they dont like how it feels they can stop with the I know

They’re chil . . 

. . And when would you sayhow old  when would you correct them by allowing them their embarrassment

I . . I would think when they’re old enough to discern . that they really don’t know.

I disagree If theyre old enough to say I know I know theyre old enough to be embarrassed

They no

They know?

They N – O  No

                 Ill concede Okay  You no  An then they can leave me alone satisfied in their mistaken understanding of noing
