Wza-y’ei is a word for the negative conceptual space left surrounding a positive concept, the class of things larger than thought, being what thought excludes.
…
A force which defines; lends significance to its receptacle as with the hand in the glove; wind in mill-vanes; the guest or the trespasser crossing a threshold and giving it meaning.
”Dho-hna.” How could I have forgotten ?
…
The wza-y’ei of this is, of course, that the future extrudes a curtailing force into the present.
It comes to me that, in reality, I am a memory of myself, trudging a memory of Court Street, this construct encysted within a much larger yr nhhngr where I’m already in Clinton Street, near the pachinko arcade, almost home.

My job still passes the Lego test — it’s basic enough that they make a Lego man who does what you do (lawyer, judge, etc). There are Lego teachers, Lego firemen, Lego police officers, Lego ninjas. There are no Lego systems analysts, no Lego hedge fund managers, etc. But I digress — my job was itself something of a Baby Boomer residual — one of the last corners of the public sector not completely decimated by this last great retraction of most of our basic principles of Public Democratic Governance (compare: The Teacher, The Librarian, The Social Worker), still paid well enough to function under the illusion of relative affluence in a way that conceals that the doctors, surgeons and small business owners are the new “upper middle class” (insofar as they make more than 98% of us but still make only a 10th of the people a percentage [point] above them) or which exposes that the upper middle class, at least as conventionally defined as the Top 25% or so often no longer make enough money to own a house before the age of 40.
— excerpt from an essay written by a criminal prosecutor who’s in the top 9 percent of U.S. earners; owns a house; can afford occasional overseas vacations; and still isn’t as well off as he would have been a generation ago
In the two years since his death, Anita has worked tirelessly to preserve Hunter’s literary legacy for future generations and to save his beloved Owl Farm. Unfortunately, he left behind very little money and a mountain of debt. “People want to tear this place down and build condos,” says Anita. “So we’re hoping to sell Hunter’s archives to a University — that would allow us to support Owl Farm for many years to come. Eventually, I’d like to turn this place into a retreat for writers. Hunter would’ve loved that.”
