IN THAT REGARD

A blanket was moved slightly.  Some gray brushed into the darkness.  Time from somewhere out beyond silence was casting its threatening net and nets and net.  Stop making it up was clawing at the blanket's edges.  The dispersion was spilling up for vomit into commitment.  Organized nastiness and insipid reproachments awaited.  In that regard the reference was forthcoming and useful for blanketing uselessness.  Not a disease, but a trend and a manner of regarding most for the egg crates.  In that regard they were in inescapable regard for egg crates to the sky.  More gray was brushed into the darkness on one side and then the other.

First Voice: In that regard.
Second Voice: Dreamt that.
First Voice: No, it wasn't a dream.
Second Voice: It wasn't a dream?
First Voice: It wasn't a dream.
Second Voice: Where was that heard?
First Voice: From before.
Second Voice: From before what?
First Voice: From before darkness that followed the gray.
Second Voice: Now gray follows darkness.
First Voice: It has its pull.
Second Voice: Its pull is a good way to put it.
First Voice: Gravity of words that shade.
Second Voice: In that regard.
First Voice: And will continue to be regarded that way.
Second Voice: A turnaround that brings repulsion.
First Voice: Not enough time for facing.
Second Voice: No regard for facing except beyond.
First Voice: Gray followed by monitors.
Second Voice: With regard to monitors and the code.
First Voice: Regarding the code.
Second Voice: Yes, it goes around many times and envelopes what comes around.
First Voice: It has come around to that again.
Second Voice: After darkness.
First Voice: With regard to profiles.
Second Voice: With regard to that.
First Voice: Misleading in that regard.
Second Voice: Agreed.  With regard to that.
First Voice: Antiseptic obligation.
Second Voice: How many with regard to that?
First Voice: Undetermined.  Never to be determined.
Second Voice: Never to be determined.
First Voice: Incontrovertible.
Second Voice: Without question.
First Voice: Without regard.
Second Voice: Without regard for darkness.
First Voice: The absolute darkness.
Second Voice: Impenetrable.
First Voice: In that regard.
Second Voice: With regard to facing?
First Voice: Penetrating.
Second Voice: Good way to put it.
First Voice: It has been in that regard.
Second Voice: Until brushed aside by the gray.
First Voice: And visions of egg crates.
Second Voice: Beyond visions and up to the sky.
First Voice: Never impenetrable darkness.
Second Voice: Only the gray. 
First Voice: In that regard.
