Could be a nod to Nab. Don't know. It certainly reads like Modernism
in its complexity, its semantic technicalities and the cross
fertilization of disciplines, here statistics are merged
linguistically with...well, linguistics, obviously, but also with the
occult, so the "Beyond" is not merely a Pavlovian condition or
conditioned condition but something/someplace spiritual.
It asks us to consider, what real knowledge has Mexico of the subtle
and technical articulation features in/of consonants?
He's not Sir Stephen Dodson Truck (the linguist), after all, and this
is the point, in part, to send a cascade of complexity merging,
tangled in the lines, at the reader.
Why has P mixed his linguists with his rocket scientists, his
Pavlovians with his Priests?
Science is a cult. A Gnostic evil force against the scatterbrained
mother. They are so tangled in their own lined.
Jam back from the Italian at the tip of your tongue, so sweet to
Wagner's gargling german screaming across the Theatre/Theater, ripping
the sky and erecting a mushroom penis in the wasteland.
It stuck in a barb wire snare.
Ich, ich, ich, ich,
I could hardly speak.
I thought every German was you.
And the language obscene
An engine, an engine
Chuffing me off like a Jew.
