GR translation: The physical grace to keep it working

[David Morris]

As an aside:

The analogy of a bank as a private toilet (redundancy?) goes directly to
 P's  "shit, money & the Word," derived from NO Brown's cosmology.  Money
is transmuted shit, in NO Brown's Life Against Death.  it is a frustrated
(and self-destructive, artificial (because it is against  eros) reaction
against the infant's incapacity to achieve its desires.  Every edifice
built with money is a deflected denial of pleasure, and a deferred suicide,
built with the feces of a frustrated infant.
