Shimmy Shine

“One may look at the very lost end of things and see no more than the wheels of time ground to halting stops. Wether the trail from here to there be straight, or haphazard of design, one may only surmise that all things end there; not there as in – well, THERE!, but there as in their state of result,” said the cobweb`s shimmer and shine.
Though hard of hearing, hearing cobwebs by shimmer I mean, not my own hearing, which is quite acute, acute at least for listening to shimmer; the cobweb was, of course, quite right.
The other cobwebs, they also agreed. The shimmer of agreement was all quite clamorous, though benign, and began to crowd my acuteness.
“One may also question the why and wherefore of the narrowness of things,” said another, “ things could grow wider a-times, or curve such as I! then there, not there as in – well, THERE!, but there as in the state of result, would be both there and lost at the very lost end of things.”
A tentative shimmer, from the very lost end of things, requiring the most acute of hearing, rejoined with a less than hearty “what?”
