(Segment 11)
Hole.
A deeply dug hole.
The hole was labelled a ditch based on a technicality, no completed throughfare.
Express highway through the ditch.
Most parkgoers still believe the ditch to be a hole.
Definitions and semiotic semantics etc.
Dug nearly five years ago to the day, the hole in the park has become a family member. State of normalcy governed by compiling debris. Because, you see, the hole catches all sorts of assortments, they pile up lightly at first, but then attract double their load in pieces. When you go for a walk in the park, and you pass the hole by (I have scheduled you in for 10:00) you will feel compelled to accept it. Surely a hole with so much residue from the years past deserves to sit in this public space. No matter the potential danger of falling into that hole. That hole brings prestige to this park with its netlike capturing and compiling of sedimentary layers.
The interesting thing about a hole is that all of its parts are missing. It is a full absence.
FULLY ABSENT
This hole is not being dug very deeply. That is ok, there is also a need of short holes, thin holes and stretched holes. Deep holes have secured far too much of the market as it is. Marked as a hole by its matter deficiency, the local park hole has garnered fame specifically for its accruement of matter. Do holes try not to be holes? Basket in the ground, collecting particles most days of the week.
Instruction: dig a hole in your local park. Car Park. It’s all a matter of perspective at the end of the day. The wholly absent hole sits in relation to the present matter around it. I believe this to be an unfortunate requirement. No way past it seemingly. But perhaps… Try to picture a hole in a vacuum, completely removed from all else it is usually moored by. No physical connection, no rim. Just an absence in an absence. Make use of the Abstract desert plain to help you[1].
