Staying put

I explain myself. Often this takes two or three attempts and even then I must rely on the willing nods of strangers. I observe furthermore that our brains have no choice (barring disease or other trauma) but to order things. And that no reader approaching a page can resist what two words do to each other. Best to de-sense. Not de-sensitize but overlook what the brain wants to do. This takes two or three attempts. Even then, given tree you'll stand in shade, given alley you'll walk down. This is all part of the morning so far, leading to afternoon.
