The better you are at fathoming my meandering sentences, the better you will be prepared for the incomprehensible language spewed forth by city district administrators, and by all other categories of bureaucrat for that matter. To be honest, this is making me wonder how I would speak if I were in their shoes, which I hasten to add there's a minute chance I would be amenable to stepping into and then only in a mood of ruthless vanity disguised as terminal public spiritedness, or possibly in a fit of absent-mindedness, although I can't seem to get my conscience to visualise the images of impending defeat, it being somehow or other an established fact that even these wretched manipulations cannot be achieved without concerted effort. Which implies that it's time that you should start reckoning.

You should read the above paragraph without coming up for air and with the close reading jumping device switched off, for only then will it transpire that the urge to survive is of all time. Then again it is an equally established fact that the methods deemed to help achieve this are continually being overhauled. So, if your well-being reckons that my arguments must miscarry, much to my surprise this too adds to my own functioning, even though I'm acutely aware that the key is in the phrasing.

Can this be right, I wonder?

Do persist, I beg of you, for I'll be hanging in there too,
As it's the knowledge that should concern both me and you.
