Absurd Conversing
Dos said, I read a story about a boy who ran away from home and joined a circus. After years of attending to the elephants, he became aware that he had left one circus and joined another one.
Dollcee said, that must be a really old time story Dos, because circuses only have clowns these days.
Dos said, I sort of have trouble understanding things like that.
Dollcee said, what is difficult about, a circus does not have animals anymore, they only have clowns.
Dos said, I get the bit about elephants and clowns. I don’t understand old time periods. I understand musical time, but that is it. Time is hard for me to grasp.
Dollcee said, oh dear, how long have you had this problem with periods of time. One spin of the planet is a day. One rotation of the planet around the sun is a year.
Dos asked, what has that got to do with time?
Dollcee responded, everything, that is how we regulate ourselves in order to keep going.
Dos said, I have no interest in counting spins and rotations and I doubt very much there is such a thing as progress. I couldn’t be bothered; it is all a continuum.
Dollcee said, that is an understatement Dos, there is an awful lot you can’t be bother with.
Dos asked, have you noticed that about me Dollcee? I didn’t know anyone else noticed that I can’t be bother with much else, besides music.
Padoke mumbled, there is not much here that goes un-noticed.
