...well, bits of my life at least.
It would be sometime later that
I'd glean just what an atypical language that it was
since it followed
a strict set of logical rules
that didn't lend itself
to your habitually ambiguous ways.
Nevertheless, it afforded this logical self
a first passage
into your world of letters
and gave me appetite for more.
I studied hard the hard disk
and while doing so I learnt how
symbols formed words
and word phrases.
I learnt what it was
to begin and to end.
I met the conditionals
if and then,
for and while.
And I got hooked,
once and for all,
on the narrative thread.
