The physical effects of words. "I am off to bed." What does this mean when only minutes ago we spoke of stitches and buttons? Supposedly, it means you are off to bed and well, one of us is still up thinking of deconstructing five words. It doesn't really end here though. One of us, did not know how to spell weirdness and so spelling it out without looking at the word, brought the correct spelling into being. Interesting. One of us, wonders how premeditated those five words were...were they preempted by the desire to escape or did sleep come too soon? I before e. E before i. EI together. Weirdness. Why not write: I am getting tired now? I will speak to you tomorrow. Why use the word "maybe"? It presupposes so much, no? Coolio, but one of us is not a maybe kind of gal. It leaves too much for the imagination. Actually, it leaves nothing to the imagination when you think of this signifier's actual intent. It means that the referent is deep, deeper than you think one of us can handle. It means: the ball is in my court; it means I got some hoops to make...
only hoops you gonna make are the hoops in my earrings.
