Do I take all the full stops from the end of the paragraph and try to re-insert them into the text making it coherent???


EDIT: man I need some commas!
Yes, at first glance the passage is pretty incoherent, but after years of studying it and also its source material, you might eventually have a vague idea of what it's trying to say. Or you could just read the critical analysis of somebody who did that and have the same vague idea. The passage is Lucky's speech from Waiting for Godot, and I thought maybe the utter senselessness of it at first glance (or second, third, fourth, etc..) might kill the thread. Which is why we're all here. Right?

Killing my foster child? 😲 I could never do that! And I won't let anyone else do that either.

A bit slow waking up this morning, but otherwise- just fine as frogs hair.
