ATDTDA (2): "wheel" (41.27)

[Tim Strzechowski]

"It's nothing supernatural.  Most people have a wheel riding up on a wire, or some rails in the street, some kind of guide or groove, to keep them moving in the direction of their destiny.  But you keep bouncing free.  Avoiding penance and thereby definition" (p. 41).



"wheel" of course suggests the Ferris wheel


The passage resonates with "yo-yo" connotations / Benny Profane


Sort of reminds me of a toy I had as a kid, can't recall the name of it, but it was a bent wire on a handle onto which you placed a wheel and it magnetically rolled up and down the wire, yo-yo-like.  I can picture it.
