After-thought

15.4.10



Function is too limited a concept to explain the questioning that shapes falls, mistakes and slurs into useful and calibrated systems that work on and off balance, and find pause gaps or moments of precision and focal clarity out of the engine of noise and multidirectional contradiction that is the backdrop to any useful word, to any useable gesture- a gesture that is useable in a particular scenario, because it is placed, then again allowed to fly up or spin below the surface of that placement. Everything is an attunement in a wider resonance in which it influences the general possibilities of a condition of life. This is the idea. Language is a questioning. A bringing into the loop- into the fold all that appears irrelevant- that appears oppositional or distracted- all that allows, through those edges of contrast the conditional borders of any thing that at any time, we call credible. Then again spitting out that very semblance of coherence into a fractured lack of integrity. The credible and the incredible dance with one another bolting together workable frontiers between them. Then letting that slip.
