"Negros and Chinamen" from and now to begin as if to begin begin of beginning again and again and again (in the continuous present with Gertrude Stein),
Let us think about those 40 words as objects on a page arranged for arranging those who have been rearranged.
The chinaman and the chinamen.
And what about the negro and the black races.
And what about the who in the negro and the who in chinaman who when multiplied become the they in the chinamen and the they in the black races.
About these objects.
Let us capitalize black.
black capitalized becomes Black becoming Black.
Let us revisit.

Thinking about these those overseas seas.
The Chinaman. The Chinamen.
The Negro. The Negroes.

Pause.
The Scotchman. The Scotchmen.
The Frenchman. The Frenchmen.
Can these objects afford their own page as such luxuries of ink on paper don’t come without naming and being named nameless.
The soldiers are present for the riots.
Yes.
Be cautious.
Yes.
The objects overseas are over the seas over there near the overseer who oversees the objects that lie on this table.
It reads like the soldiers are cautious of the Chinaman and the Chinamen are cautious of Negroes and Frenchmen and Scotchmen but only those with candles and she is cautious too of the soldiers who are cautious of the Chinaman and cautious of the Chinamen who are cautious of all men with candles.
But not of the woman with oil.

The lantern the oil the candle the thimble.
The bed sheet the pillow the small book with writing indecipherable the Amens.

He asks if he should be cautious of the Amens.
Open wide tongue out shut tight tongue at rest.
These too are objects are they not.
Are they not objects meant to arrange the things that need to be arranged in order to make sense of the senseless and name the unnamed head tilted looking forward.
Look forward not up not down.
The noise she says she likes the noise doesn’t like the noise but I sometimes like the noise when arranged to my liking.
