Subject: Re: space-time


the outside of the inside of a decision to recede (like a tide/ing)
which brings forth (oddly) a sudden community (of absence, to which
no-one cannot not participate): Just Gaming/Naming (an inside joke) ou
"Le Nom Juste"
The Japanese, busy fielding their pronouns so that everyone can know who
is in one's in group, who (k)not, could not have done a better job.
    But, let us stop a minute and consider what did happen to us, the
ones in the know (les non-dupes) and the ones (k)not (les noms du pere):
those in the know are awaiting a certain advent (delay notwistanding, we
have been guarranteed the re-ply), the others awaiting without knowing:
a certain inverse messianism (since, at least one us--maybe more--did
not know we were waiting (a response to-what/words) to begin with. But,
now we are waiting since we have been designated as such (and perhaps
dupes for all that--Vladimir and Estragon, turnips and carrots, "hand in
hand from the Eiffel Tower" and the rest, and so forth ...
    ... and nevertheless (by a certain gesture), look! an even more
narrowly circumscribed group is suddenly in the know, for one inside is
the outside of the inside of its outside (ah Giordano Bruno and his
Infinito--mind-blowing, no?)

... which is--almost--not leaving out the left (over) left out of their
exclusion
....and--incidentally--your community after their "re"

[the beauty of all that, my newfangled friend, is how you accomplished
us accomplices, to which I can but bat my wink/g and ply to "re"--with a
measure of surprise and confused gratification]

Beatrice (which is to say: "Un deseein si funeste
Si'il n'est digne d' Atre'e est digne de Thyeste"
there, there--don't hold a grudge!)
