so while looking for something else, i came across this bag o’shells – namely array # 23839 from page 51 of my book Traum von dem Geschietert Dichter, eponymous of my web site, if you see how i mean. “Array” or “Paradigm” is an opuscule coposed reductio ad absurdum with the idea that “poetry is the best words in the best order” . . . but i always try to elevate to some next level what ever experiment i am making . . . at this time, just juxtaposing some arrays, which meant in the process, another experimental direction got truncated . . . see below (and gosh-darn this word-press table-software, it’s all crooked, depending on how big my screen is . . .)
the original version:
array # 23839
