The Hat model of meaning: every word is a hat, and every meaning is something that wears that hat.

   "UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

There are places in me where nothing can live.

Places like the road to Mongolia
tells you to roll up your windows & try to breathe shallower.

Maybe it was a failure of enginering.
I dunno. i don't go out at night
searching for beacons that aren't there...

But I keep track pretty good. That's something;
& for jokers who have to ask, I've prepared
a variety of colorful accounts."

--Y*ntl Hambright, Bri*f and Burning Pray*rs (1968)
