Indeterminacy 138

Pointing out the five
cars in her front yard,
the
cleaning lady said they
were wrecks her son
had accomplished
during the past year,
that
he planned to put
parts of them together
to make a
single usable car
for her.
“The
only thing we don’t
have,” she said,

“is a good pair of
headlights.
You
know it’s very
hard to come out
of a wreck
with undamaged headlights.”
