Removal

There was a great hole in the ground all full up with soil, which is to say there wasn't a great hole in the ground, for what kind of hole is absent of the very void which is the very essence of a hole? A hole is absence after all. And so there wasn't a hole, but then all the soil was removed, and so, removed of that soil which presence of which had denied the hole- meant indeed there had been no hole to deny- there now was a hole.
