instructions: use only nouns

I was reminded while writing this that many english nouns double as adjectives, verbs, etc. I deliberately tried to avoid such words but am surprised as I read over it at the amount I oversaw. I was aware of "abuse" and "wish", "hope" is also obvious, yet there are also "shadow", "wonder", "fear", "cycle", "elbow" Theoretically, any word in the english language can be used as a verb, yet some words are more resistant to this possibility than others, particularly words with noun-specific endings such as -tude, -ism, -con, or -tion. Even if the word is made up, such an ending will make it appear to be a noun. I also wonder if being surrounded by so many other nouns makes the more ambiguous ones appear more noun-like. Unfortunately, I cannot be objective about that.

Otherwise, I attempted to avoid painting a clear, everyday picture, partially by alternating between objects and more abstract words, and by avoiding chains of clear word-associations. I attempted simultaneously to form connections through repeated words and between certain words regarding their meaning as well as by constructing new words inspired phonically from words already used. reflex- flexicon. triangle- gigrant
