There is the automatic

word as for instance with me

the word Sorceress where the

word goes on even while the

attention is focused on entirely

different subjects just as in

swimming my arms and legs

go on automatically even

when my attention is focused

on subjects entirely different

from swimming such as

witchcraft for instance or

the sorceress

The evolution of a word

in the mind requires despotic

power and unlimited elimination.

How would Yes for instance flourish

among words such as dog or corset
