Essence, or: Nonsense

An American sentence

If you feel annoyed or amused at this sentence, it’s a good poem.

What’s an ‘American Sentence’?


The requirements:

  1. Composed in one line;
  2. Syllabic, 17 syllables;
  3. Condensed, written with no unnecessary words or articles;
  4. Complete sentence or sentences;
  5. Includes a turn or enlightenment.


Yom Kippur (the holiest day of the year for Jews) runs from sunset on Wednesday to sunset on Thursday this year. Therefore, I have scheduled this post in advance, as I will be offline for 25 hours until sunset on Thursday. I look forward to reconnecting with you soon!

          1. People about on the streets in a leisurely way. Quieter. Perhaps it’s the contrast between the sudden influx of students (I live near many schools) earlier this week and then a day without the bustle of school activity. There is no remote option this year, so it’s a big change.
