What j/j and tt (who have come together to haunt each other’s pages into expansion) became now reads as a meditation upon knowing that there are not currently enough models for engagement of the ravenous it. Ravenous because it is set to consume caverns of the overlap of psyche and the physical, to have focus be on the minute aspects of the whole, to gauge instant by instant the flickering particles that push toward gesture; gesture is itself push re society/ socialization or solitude.
