marriage or companionship

 

is this the method of marriage 

or the means of companionship?

3 examples

if the cursory hands 

from two specific and individual authors,

started to write on a page,

alternating one word after the other,

how long would it take,

for an editor to come to believe,

that that manuscript

is from one author?

if a story had to be type-written, 

by two different people,

where these two people alternated,

where upon, one wrote the noun

and the other 

then wrote the verb, 

for each sentence entered.

and they took the time necessary

to mutually quibble and agree

over the placement of particles,

adjectives and adverbs

and then reversed that process

every other sentence.

what story would they write

which became believable, 

by any third party,

by the time of the reading

out loud and in their presence

of chapter three?

 

if a genuine couple

were asked to write down

a series of words, 

that represented

the instances of

the victimhood of their silent applause,

how many words or how long of a list,

if one new word was added every minute,

would it take, 

until they had come to one word 

written in common?

is this method or means? . . .
