A man once sat stumply and read awhile, browsing the progressive
words with not a usualness. Then a usual came up behind him and
startled him. |
(Usual) "Brother, what you read are not Walrus words." |
With no reply the reading man continued on rearranging his synapses
with the nonWalrus words. The usual repeated his warning plea
but to no avail. The usual called the policeperson. |
(Policeperson) "You may not read these words, brother,
or your synapses will be fused by the very impulses of my chohazer
beam." |
The reading man paused to explain his deviance to the policeperson
and the usual. |
(Reading Man) "I am not a usual and of this I am proud.
I may think as progressively as I please. I own my mind and no
one else does. Be usual if you choose, but I do not." |
The policeperson and the usual discussed until they agreed. |
(Policeperson) "No one has withstood the chohazer
ray for several years since our Walrus told us truth. No need
for progressive truth when Walrus truth is, after all, the usual
thing." |
The reading man did not understand their point, if indeed they
had any. He thus replied. |
(Reading Man) "I don't see a point
in what you say." |
(Policeperson) "That I should be progressive is what
you think. I fear the progressive though, since the Walrus truth
has sustained me well, brother." |
The reading man saw a possible recruit from the tier of usualness
to the flight of progressivity. |
(Reading Man) "Join me in progressive thought, brother.
There is no need to follow the Walrus truth." |
The policeperson thought to himself that the Walrus truth enveloped
a law which prevented him from destroying his brethren, and despite
the progressive synapses of the reading man, the reading man was
still, by Walrus truth, his brother. |
(Policeperson) "Would you have me dissolve my trust
in the Walrus as I have lived my life by it. The thought of doing
so is discomforting." |
The reading man sought to comfort his convertible policeperson
brother. |
(Reading Man) "Please join me in progressive thought.
Do not fortain yourself to Walrus thought." |
The usual ran away in complete fear of what he perceived to be
the upcoming events. He ran to report to the policepolice about
the disusualization of the policeperson and the
progressiveness of the reading man. |
The policeperson found the thought of changing difficult, as the
only attribute to universalize all phenomena that he had ever
perceived is Walrusness. Yet he did feel fortained by it. |
(Policeperson) "I shall no longer be fortained by
Walrus thought." |
The reading man thought that this was good. |
(Reading Man) "That is
good." |
Over the horizon one could see several policepolice and policepeople
with Walrus bands to identify them. The policeperson thought a
progressive thought. He had to fight with the nonWalrusness of
the thought until it slipped into his consciousness. The policeperson
slowly shot the reading man with his chohazer until the reading
man's synapses were fused like so much peanut butter. |
(Policepolice) "You are under official fortainment.
You have destroyed a brother. You are not of the
Walrus." |
The policeperson became confused. His thoughts were no longer
structured by the fortainment to usual thought. |
(Policeperson) "I am the
Walrus." |
Unfortunately the usuals believed him. |
(Policepolice and Usuals) "Your truth is our
truth." |
Then, in calm fortainment, the usuals on the horizon raised the
arms of their chohazer tanks in salute to the Walrus. The policeperson
was confused no more. The progressive reading man was joined by
the nonWalrus policeperson. Both lay stumply upon the ground. |
