if we're already inside, and cannot get back out again, then we are already writing the novel that we agreed before we could not write. one plot could be a continual revisiting of the initial gesture in the hope that by not repeating it something might happen. this could of course always collapse, maybe in the same way each time, but reading the same collapse, say, 25 times generates effects that are not the same as those generated or not generated by each of the 25 collapses on it's own. so nothing repeats and revisiting is changing it even if that changing has the outward face of repeating. that is what i think about that at 2:58 pm on this blurry monday afternoon. ask me later and i'll tell you something else. but i like loops.
