Sight is the sense that dying people tend to lose first
Socks are gloves for the feet. Snow is cold. Water is the same thing as ice. In America things are bigger. America is a country. Korea is also a country. Some men have sex appeal. Blind people cannot see anything. Burglars are men that go into houses and take things which do not belong to them. Mist is like smoke but it comes without fire. The telephone is an amazing invention. A mouse that is dead is sometimes referred to as a specimen. Love is difficult to describe. Fire is what happens when things get very hot.
Sight is the sense that dying people tend to lose first is a free-associating monologue that tumbles from topic to topic as it outlines a broad picture of the world. Comical in its naiveté and preposterously encyclopaedic in its ambitions, it explores the absurdities and horror of the human brain, which wants to understand everything.
