i think it's a matter of tp blurring the lines of various narratives,
presenting something like a  more or less transparent clock, tho one
isn't sure where the fassades overlap &etc. i think the capitalization
thing is far from half-assed--it seems well-thought-out if a little (a
lot, probably) hard to make sense of. (i acknowledge that you might have
been suggesting much of what i'm saying here)
