how easy it is to forget that we do not live in increments, of sleeping and waking, but rather one long continuous drawl of existence. the events by which we mark time are hardly boundaries and borders, but instead commas and semicolons, punctuating (ungrammatically) the long breathless sentence of our lives.
but maybe we are not so wrong to forget this. night, indeed, seems a different universe.

This is certainly true. It is also easy to fall into thinking that knowing where the punctuation comes is a substitute for pronouncing every word in between.
