Talking Out Of Turn

Yeah, commas, like, totally, um, rock.

So. Periods. Well. No. Boring.

And? Interrogatives? Okay? Maybe?

Maybe. Example. Please.

Try, perhaps, Genesis.

Why? How? What?

Begin.

Where?

At, say, God, or, possibly, Adam.

Reasonable?

Fine.

Which?

Try, er, God.

Okay, so, God, obviously, created.

Agreed?

Agreed. True. Well. Mostly. Probably. Possibly. Yet.

Yet? What?

Perhaps, um, Adam, instead, created.

Adam? Created? What?

No. Who.

Who?

Yes. Adam. Created.

Adam?

Yes.

Created?

Yes. God.

God?

Yes.

Impossible.

Really?

Clearly.

Explain.

If, say, Adam, well, created, then, sorry, we’re, well, wandering.

Lost. Adrift. And. And. And.

And, worse.

Worse? How?

Evil.

Evil, then, baffles.

Boggles. Bewilders. Confounds.

Confounds?

Painfully, heartbreakingly, mercilessly.

Confounds.

Evil, then, breaks.

Afflicts, strikes, destroys.

And? Adam? Agonizes? Anguishes? Despairs?

Yes, woefully, yes.

Whoa.

Yes, Adam, then, loses.

Evil, then, triumphs.

Adam, then, staggers, falls, dies.

Dies.

Mind, heart, soul, too.

Dies.

Why? Answers? Any?

None.

Only, sadly, death.

Unremitting. Interminable. Eternal. Death.

Ask? Seek? Find?

How? Why? Help?

None.

Questions? Queries? Inquiries? Interrogatives?

None. None. None.

None, then, answerable, nor, hence, meaningful.

Meaningless. Sigh. Meaningless. Sigh.

So.

So?

So. Therefore. God.

And, therefore, Adam.

See?

Now, yes, understood.

Good. Phew.

Let’s, then, return.

Okay. Alright. Right. Unless.

Unless?

Unless, well, there’s, uh, more.

Oh! Please! Stop!
