that's ever-present, so, yeah

you point out the opportunity of a Kenosha Kid grammatical gearshift there:
"Nothing" registers -
the concept of nothingness registers

("You? Never? -- Did the Kenosha Kid?")

memento mori when he sees the fictive star - negative of the hope a
morning star might otherwise signify

looking at his watch then trying to place that moment back into a
normal day (This well-scrubbed day ought to be no worse than any--")
but failing, because Nothing(ness) registers

una nox aeterna...

(a little deeper than I normally think, of course...my usual project
is to pretend I'm each character...and I don't think that deeply
often, I'm usually more into the prospect of the Banana breakfast...)
