Word Demeanor

Dear,

Out of two words typed, one is considered, the other is included. That is how a story goes--hand-over-hand. That is how it was done when there was only one to tell the story and only once to tell it right.

That time "asymptotic" was used. Do you remember? It was graceful, unfulfilling of its own potential, how it approached what I really wanted to say, but only waved a passing hello. Asymptotic.

In that case, the two words considered: photographic, asymptotic. I kept the right one. The left one makes less sense. What sort of story is photographic?


yours
