Note: This is a special post because it houses two etherees paralleled against one another. It is purposefully done to show the endless cycle of concentration and interruption. Enjoy!
Concentration
Interruption
It starts with a purpose that cannot be avoided anyway. When, suddenly, time is a void machine running wild between crazy, clenched teeth and cigar, driven by only pace, like an intent, focused mind.
wild until thought stopped it from moving on, because nothing just happened right before this important notice on the radio. So, the train came to a sudden halt, screeching on the tracks, because the wailing machine couldn’t see.
