And

And I love to use "and"
at the
beginning
of my posts, and paragraphs.
It speaks of continuity,
a continuous stream of life
that goes beyond these lines,
layers upon layers.
That what is spoken,
like life,
has no clear demarcation,
no break
between this and not-this
like none between sunset and night.

And the ungrammaticality of it,
and the apparent paradox
of not really beginning after a period
and linking with a capital;
the
artificial
separation of thoughts.

A writer lives beyond his words.
