Short Stories

Because the neighbours know everything about their neighbours
I woke up sitting /this story will have to lie for a certain time or to be at standstill /
/and/ When the pupils of the closed eyelids are moving left-right-left-right… – a dream –
When he woke up it was the same day

I was driving on the summit of /a/ mountain. On two wheels I was driving. By automobile I was driving. On the summit of a mountain. The summit – not sharp as a razor, not steep as a summit of a mountain, for instance. On the contrary: flat and sandy. The wheels were getting stuck in the sand; and were sinking and throwing out grains of sand around them; they were spinning, to say it simply. /And/ simply I went out of the automobile and was pushing it simply. On the summit of /a/ mountain. I was pushing it simply, easily, with a single finger could be said more precisely. I don’t know exactly with which one and even to know – don’t know how much that would help to understand the state in which we were involved in: the summit of the mountain, the two wheels of the automobile, and any of my mysterious fingers. During all this time, not paying attention to the position above called a state – I was pushing the automobile on two wheels with any-of-the-fingers. If it can be said that something is pushed that is pushed easily, with no effort, without ppuuushshiiiiiiiing, but simply with – pushing, or with – p-u-s-h-i-n-g.
/And/ I don’t know how much time everything that easily with the finger stretched along the summit of the mountain on an automobile with two wheels that were spinning, but I already got bored. And that’s why: I simply took the automobile and put it in my right, comfortably suitable, side pocket of my jeans that in the meanwhile, I noticed, ripped on the knees, and I wanted to continue – on foot, but suddenly: simply: I understood the state/position in which I/we was/were and I woke up exactly on time to hear the neighbours’ alarm clock at 6:30 am although I didn’t have a need to. That’s why: I turned to the other side, I put the pillow on my head and continued. To walk, this time.
This was completely usual daily walk on completely usual everyday could be said: alleys and streets, crescents and little crescents and pavements, over there where there were pavements although on the streets there wasn’t even a single automobile moving; not only was there something that was moving on two wheels; there were not even parked automobiles; simply – no automobiles.
Soon: I understood the state/position I was involved in, but I continued to sleep – I needed a rest from the yesterday’s exhausted and excessive mountaineering and: I set on a bench and was sitting and sitting and sitting until /rested/ I woke up – sitting if I say I will exaggerate this time on paper as well, so that’s why I will leave this story to lie for a certain time or to be at standstill.
