A LONG DRESS.

What is the current that makes machinery, that makes it
crackle, what is the current that presents a long line and a
necessary waist. What is this current.

What is the wind, what is it.

Where is the serene length, it is there and a dark place
is not a dark place, only a white and red are black, only a
yellow and green are blue, a pink is scarlet, a bow is every
color. A line distinguishes it. A line just distinguishes it.
