The dark sky we're driving into.

"Verlan became so popular that even former French President Francois Mitterrand showed off his knowledge of it during a television interview several years ago. When he was asked whether he knew the word chebran (Verlan for branche, which means hip), he answered, of course, but added, 'That's already passe; you should say cable,' which literally means 'wired for cable,' but means 'plugged in' or with-it in current slang." —Alexander Stille via

Catasterisms.

What Aboutness boasts of:
abode-pointing roadsigns.
File under find-glegly,
affordances hoarded.

Myst'ry not with noose-tags
is netted, nor by whetstones.
At noon shadows shindig
their shriven-least river.
