         he leaned forward heavily onto his elbows on a hardwood kitchen table

she emitted an uncomfortable squeak

Come now were friendsyou were saying

Nope

May I ask why?

Of course the chair groaned as he leaned back Whas said supersedes where its said  performedWheres this being performed

she looked around

she couldnt say

                things around her were out of focus coloured film projected on unmooredhanging muslin bleachedwhite burlap or dampsuffering papertissue  inchoate   insubstantial

Looks temporary distressed   doesnt it

Yes.

However its not diminished our ability to talk  to communicate

No.

Then you might agree that it doesnt matter where we are

                                                           Your feet may not even be on the ground  an without a vantage pointwithout scale   Without

We still can talk

Our communication is essential  not where we speak   Where is ultimately superfluous  extraneous

Rarely does setting make conversation
