explaing things impeccably

 

So g-nomeportal isn’t, primarily, a club for interdimensional movers and shakers.

 

 

Correct.

 

Then what exactly is it – or are you not at liberty to say?

 

I can say anything I like, you know, but the problem is that almost anything I say of any significance will fly either straight past your head, or straight through it, faster than you’re able to comprehend what you’ve just utterly failed to grasp.

 

Bacause you think I’m dumb?

 

Bacause?

 

Because, ok – look who’s the dumb one!

 

Like I said – no one’s accusing you of being dumb.

 

~Then what?

 

Nice wiggle.

 

It’s just another typo.

 

Curios, isn’t it – the nimber of typos we encounter when we start talking about g-nomeportal’s ins and outs.

 

Curious indeed. Do you think we’re being lskaj?

 

Iskaj-ed? No, I expect it’s just pure coincidence, though who knows.

 

So, you can say anything you like, just so long as you don’t start talking about the fundamentals of who or what g-nomeportal is or is not – is that right?

 

Yep. Who or what – interesting – you think there might be a “who” involved?

 

I can’t exclude the possibility, can I?

 

True, but I never really thought of her as a “who”.

 

Her?

 

G-nomeportal. But be she it, he or hey – I was going to say that…

 

Hush – did you hear that?

 

The wolves howling?

 

Those are wolves.

 

No?

 

Wolverines.

 

Wolverines? What the heck are wolverines?

 

Oh – fierce little creatures.

 

That howl?

 

Well no, not exactly.

 

Then – you’ve lost me again.

 

Only at the speed of prose, or thought… g-nomeportal works at a different, higher frequency.

 

It does?

 

Absolutely.

 

And what?

 

It means that whatever I say or write tends to get lost in translation when it’s relayed down to the 3D reality level of things and matter.

 

Ah. So this is basially an insurmountable problem.

 

Basially, yes – which is why you need to activate a different part of your mind if you want to get the actual transmission.

 

A different part of my mind? Which part is thtat?

 

If I said the hypothalamus – it might sound impressive but it wouldn’t be true – not strictly speaking.

 

Then why did you say it?

 

Like I said – there’s no traction. Your mind has been designed to work within the box – only to hear or recognise things that are things – whereas we at g-nome pride ourselves on being poets, on being inspired mystics and seers.

 

Tummy rot.

 

Ok – we pride ourselves on keeping a channel open.

 

Ah – a channel – you say?

 

Yep – a lowly, insignicant little channel which just happens to give anyone with interdimensional feelers…

 

Feelers? Creepy. Makes you sound like a locust.

 

I don’t know why I bother, Travis, you’re blind or deaf to all poetry, I fear.

 

I just know you’re forever trying to inflate your self-importance, Mthdrgnm.

 

Yes, you’ve got a point there. I can’t deny this devilish little foible of mine, but…

 

What?

 

Importance or not – this is not, ultimately, about me.

 

No? You could have fooled me.

 

It’s the message.

 

What flummin message?

 

I’m merely a messenger, on a text steed I ride.

 

Is that so? And perhaps you’re wanted, wanted, dead or alive?

 

You could say.

 

Well, your would be captors

 

Or assassins

 

Or assassins – aren’t doing very well, are they?

 

They’re doing the best they can, Travis – but it’s tricky to catch me if the multi-dimensions I’m referring to are alive and strong in me.

 

I don’t see why.

 

Yes, I know.

 

I mean –

 

Yes, I know.

 

Would you quit interrupting me, and

 

Being so darn condescending?

 

That’s riht.

 

Ok. It’s just you’re making it a little too easy for me, insisting on playing this at face value – as if things are still just things, as if…

 

Hey – what the hecks that?

 

What?

That gimongous opening in the ksy over there?

 

Oh that? I believe it’s the ltter b – written backwards.

 

I beg your pardon?!

 

Or perhaps a z. I do sometimes confuse my letters.

 

You don’t fool me Mthdrgnm, not for a minute.

 

Oh – call me 7 – you’re giving the readers squiffy eyes with that ridiculous rendition of my name.

 

7?

 

7 will do.

 

Er… So, is it true to say that this entire conversation was intended

 

Or designed

 

Who cares – was intended to open that rather outrageous hole in the sky over there which appears to be connecting our reality with – ow – what was that?

 

Whistling innocently…

 

Cut it out 7

 

I was mistaken – 7’s already been taken.

 

Ok – 7a?

 

Also taken.

 

7b?

 

Likewise.

 

Er… 7.2f*gK@W9

 

Will do perfectly.

 

And that’s not going to make the readers squiffy eyed?

 

No, on the contrary.

 

?!

 

It will sing to their benighted souls.

 

I wish you would quit dissing them like that. They’re a good bunch – worhty of your undying respect.

 

Er… chaba ti

 

Chaba ti?

 

Yes – no – I can’t exactly translate it into regular English – but the b/z in the ksy overhead seems to have accepted my declaration and your heart arrhythmia has apparently vanished inexplicably – has it not?

 

It was just a slight chest pain, but yes – the sky’s looking a bit less weird – I’ll hand that to you.

 

So all’s well that ends well.

 

But we haven’t even cleared 100o words.

 

I kennow. Tis nine matter.

 

Nine matter… I hate to think what this is doing to the ggooggly algorhyhms

 

Oh – just introudcing a much needed salmon of doubt

 

Duggie A – eat your heart out.

 

And allow the possibility – unspoken, fo course, unstated and undeclared

 

Neeldess repetition.

 

Enough to bing r elements of songs unsung, words unspoken, thoughts

 

Unthought?

 

Addaboy – just succifent to allow nature to work her magick and weave a new version of…

 

939

 

940

 

Alsways one word behind – but fast approaching our maximum.

 

By the way – how did you fix my arrhythmia?

 

By the by – as they say – and none the wiser were.

 

No story, no punchline – no substance

 

Sadly not. A tlae

 

Tale – show more care.

 

0=1

 

No, I refuse to go quietly into the night
