XX

Actually there are no adjectives
conjunctions interjections or prepositions
who for instance has ever seen an and
outside of Bello’s Complete Spanish Grammar?
Actually there are only acts and objects
a man dancing with a woman
a woman giving titty to her baby
a funeral—a tree—a cow
it’s the subject that imposes the interjection
it’s the professor that imposes the adverb
and the verb to be is only a philosopher’s hallucination.
