Incoherence

"Among the stuff that "Incoherence" touches upon, rubs up against, brushes up the wrong way: the loss of everything if/when we're lost for words; limitless meaninglessness produced by thoughtless speech and talking for talking's sake; over-pedanticism pinned to the page forever by its own (obsolete) definition; the word, once spoken, forever in the air; the impossibility of our own presence in the future of which we speak; the mental short-circuitry of a couple of Classic Paradoxes; the way words form in the mind without language; conversation as double monologue; breakages and changes in the meaning of the spoken word by time/memory/analysis; the voice inside the head when the tongue is stilled; and blah, blah, blah...."
