If they will not work then let them play. The slippage
and play of the signifiers is what it is all about.
The text is always about nothing precisely because
there is nothing outside the text for the text to be
about. The absent center of every text is also a door
leading to the thing outside the text that the text
would be about if it worked for a living by describing
something outside itself.
The text is a bird with one wing that goes into a
panic when it asks itself the unanswerable question of
what the text is about. It panics as if hotly pursued
by a dead police that no one would want to sleep with
and flies around and around in tighter and tighter
circles closing in on that center of itself which is
also a door into the absolute not-text other which
makes the text mean rather than just being a lazy
bonobo playing with the basic equipment because it's
there. The warm, gooey thing that happens when that
one-winged bird of a text finally disappears up the
neither end of its own sweet self is the thing that
the text is never about but can sometimes do on a good
day. It killed the policeman and it is glad.

Everything seems to fit together, but only if I

haven't sent to the
list that I've been rewriting many times I can't
get them to work.

what's the compositional principle at work?
In so far as literature turns back on itself and examines parodies or treats ironically its own signifying
procedures, it becomes the most complex account of signification we possess. - John Deely
