STILL/ALREADY/STILL/ALREADY

The truth is that passing is a shock and although a lot can/must be done to civilise this process somehow, it is difficult or even impossible to get used to passing. But mind you: you can get over its each subsequent manifestation, once it has happened, once it has become part of the current landscape. It is not the end of the world, after all. Up until the following shock that turns out to be endurable too. Constantly moving towards the inevitable final scandal, the one that obviously cannot be survived.
