I heard someone or other being murdered with a bomb recently -- they
played the audio -- and it said MOOB
which is BOOM backwards
however you'd like to take that
I think it's more inquiring which way round that relationship with
language is
but I don't have a prose statement
I woke with it middle of the nightworse than needing the toiletand for
once it was -- I think -- worth writing down

I thought Bag Dad End(ings) at first Lawrence, but that 'MOOB' I
wasnt sure of, though the rest had its own tone, & that got through.
So from the public to the personal, the way language deals with us
rather than the other way around?
