Escaping Boundaries

“O dearth of human words! Roughness of mortal speech!” Tosca describing the simulation Puccini telling us the bullets are real. Flights imagination storehousing beyond the dearth, painting softness immortality. Still bound.

We can’t see, dark eyes, light eyes, past mortal speech. Describing the portrait he’s painting, in conversation with the sacristan (who sings in keys of clear distinction, believing, traps | entrapped | entraptured, as one would, believing one world simulating two worlds), still bound. Human words. Roughness mortal speech.

Mental models entrapped | entrapturing, en/foreclosing the beyond. The be unbound, if it exists. Unbound / beyond our dearth.

Katherine Solomon’s concept is a paucity for the discussion. The concept is a mcguffin, rather than itself. All plot device.
