• Mete : Distance is not a function of time. Speed is distance divided by time. AcceIeration and the coefficient of friction are neither here nor there. Being on the road requires having speed. The converse is to stop on the road. Stopping is boring.

  Kaan : Stopping on the road doesn't mean being on the road. Stopping on the road means stopping on the road. You don't stop at the end of the road. You stop either beforehand or not at aII. Sometimes cIear coIourIess water flows by the side of the road. And there are fish in that water. The road cIeaves through hiIIs, one of them an earthy green the other perhaps ochre. The water doesn't take on the coIour of the Iand it flows through. Though it may seem that way to you. And aIso the road never ends.

  Mete : That's the waII of the Iabyrinth.
