from the preface:
Not the wrong word but the nonword, word purely
as spacer… will come in here, as people like Murphy really
like the phrase as a thing different from a word or a prior. What
her eye falls on, kites, clothes-pins, record jackets, gets in
but not… as diurnal notation, this because this-then, but
as a religious trusting of the perceptual manifold to be an Event.
--Gerald Burns
