VARIATIONS ON AN INCIDENT IN PARIS
Barrie England

2. Negatives

IN AN establishment that was not a hotel in a city that was not a provincial city in Italy a person who was neither male nor old and whose name was not Z does not keep silent in the presence of one fewer than four people who are not her enemies nor yet again male (not Y, nor X nor W) about the non-platonic relationship she had with a person who did not stay at home and who was not from all the countries of the world except the United States, who did not fail to return to his own land not denying that he would not commit his sentiments to paper, and hasn't. It hasn't been less than two periods of more than six, but less than eight days; an event other than no event must not have failed to take place involving him. (She has, not in the distant past, not remained ignorant of the fact that she has not failed to conceive, but she doesn't omit to withhold this from those who are not adverse to her.) Not-Y does not keep to herself her view that she (not-Z) should not not call him; not-X to not not e-mail him; not-W that she should not keep him in her thoughts. Two people who are not slim and not non-American do not exit. They do not have the same lack of facility in that which is not written. They do not wait to be asked for that which will not fail to sustain them. That which will not fail to sustain the American person who is not female causes him to not swallow it without difficulty. Z does not neglect to perform the Heimlich maneuver on him, and does not end his life.
