The word was seventeen letters long.

I could see it. I could not hold it.

The letters kept folding back

into the words they came from.

The hint came. I sat in the hint.

The word was in the hint.

The hint was not the word.

I looked for the word.

The overlap looked like the word.

The overlap was not the word.

The word was there.

I was there.

The word was in the overlap.

I was in the overlap.

I could not see the word.

I could not see the word

I was looking for the word,

and the word was the looking.

The word was the overlap.

I was the overlap.

I could not see the word.

I was the word.
