UNREAD THE READ
And i read my mind, the letters vague and jumbled. Curtains were drawn over some letters, some were overwritten, some...peeping from a distance to get into my sight. I read my mind murmuring. Only i could listen to what i was reading. i read my mind slowly so that i could pronounce correctly what was trying to read. Covered most of the letters were, i tried to DiScOvEr them. There was another cover of dust, i broomed that. Somewhat clearer they appeard. i read my mind. The letters were still there. i must tell you, those letters were not in an alphabetical order, my mind was perhaps unaware of the sequence. i read them non-sequentially. Just like that. Just in the manner they were found. Just in the sequence i was dusting them, brooming them.
So, i read my mind, the letters non-sequential. Tiny i, the BIG BOLD letters. Vague was my vision or the Big Bold letters? "opthalmologist', the word struck. i had read it in "Word Power Made Easy" by Norman Lewis. If i remember it well, it means an eye specialist. shoul i visit one. I would tell her/him that i see vague letters. What would i say? that i can't read my own mind!?! Does the doctor read his/her mind? Am i sure the doctor can see those letters or for that matter any once else? or would i be the first one to complain about my poor vision? Poor vision?!? But i can very well see the blue sky, the green plants, the faces, the buildings, the scriptures, the everything but it is also true that i can't see those letters. Should i wash my eyes?
...The letters are clearer now. But i don't read my mind. The letters are no more vague, the letters shiny and clear, the letters in a sequence now. i did not even murmur, i did not read them slow, i did not read them aloud seeing that the world surrounds me.
But i tried to. i read my mind inside my mind and took care that no one listens to it. May be i was ashamed of it. Probably. Probably for sure. Because, it was not in a sequence a dictionary says. Because it was not defined as Norman Lewis does. Because they were not the same letters, i was taught.
So i unread my mind. Don't tell this to anyone.
